Lobi Stars vs Kano Pillars Prediction: This fierce encounter will end in a goal apiece

Lobi Stars will face off against Kano Pillars on Sunday at the Lafia City Stadium. The guests are yet to taste defeat over their previous five matches, and I think they’ll maintain such a run against their opponent. 

Lobi Stars (20th)

Last five games: LWLWL

The Bauchi-based team suffered another away defeat as they were beaten by Sunshine Stars on the road. Promise Awosanmi's only goal after the break ensured they lost their sixth game of the season. Before then, they had scored three goals and conceded once against a struggling Abia Warriors team. 

Things haven’t been going in the right direction for the hosts, with three victories over their last twelve games. 

Lobi Stars are aware that a win here would give them the confidence to surge ahead in the long run, and we expect them to approach this game aggressively. 

Kano Pillars (6th)

Last five games: DLWWD

The Sai Masu Gida Boys settled for a share of the spoils against Heartland Owerri on their home turf. Kano Pillars had to return twice to split points in front of their home supporters, with the ever-reliable Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Ali finding the back of the net. 

This was before their back-to-back wins against Bendel Insurance and Plateau United. Kano Pillars have picked up eighteen points from a combined thirty-six, scoring sixteen and conceding fifteen. 

Coach Usman Abdallah will be determined to replicate their recent performance on the road against Bendel Insurance to amass all the points here. 

Expert Betting Tips

Lobi Stars have won five while Kano Pillars have recorded six wins and six games ending in a tie over their previous seventeen meetings. Lobi Stars have picked up 97% of all their points at home this season. They march here with back-to-back wins, and they’ll be keen to maintain such a run here. 

Lobi Stars will host a pretty solid opponent tomorrow, and even though they’re the favorite, I think a BTTS will surface here. 

Lobi Stars have failed to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive home matches, and with Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Ali in this game, goals will surely surface here.

Good luck!
