Akwa United vs Lobi Stars FC Prediction: The home team can’t afford to lose back-to-back in front of their home supporters

A few days after their terrible display at home against Remo Stars, Akwa United will be keen to adjust quickly against Lobi Stars at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Wednesday. The home side are in terrible form and will be looking to secure their sixth win of the season to vacate the relegation zone in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) table.

Akwa United (19th)

Last five games: DLWLL

The Promise Keeper Boys stumbled on another defeat in the league; this time, it was against Remo Stars at home. After an electrifying halftime, which saw them take the lead, Akwa United conceded twice in front of their home supporters in the second halftime. The (1-2) loss was after their (2-1) defeat against the same opponent on the road. 

With one win in five matches, Akwa United sit comfortably in the relegation zone on the log. Boboye’s men have managed five wins this season, marching here without a win in six games. 

Things haven’t been going in the right direction for coach Mohamed Babaganaru, and coach Boboye will replace him for the second half of the season. It’s imperative to state that Akwa United have managed five wins over their last twenty games this campaign. 

The Promise Keepers have won five, lost two games, and drawn three over their previous ten home matches. 

Lobi Stars (18th)

Last five games: LWLDL

The Bauchi-based team bowed to their tenth defeat of the season against Heartland Owerri on the road. After a solid display without goals from both teams at the break, Lobi Stars conceded minutes in the second half. Things haven’t been going in the right direction for the hosts since the start of the season, as they have won the joint fewest games of all the teams in the league. 

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 with urgency. 

Lobi Stars have lost nine and drawn once at home this season.
