Ikorodu City vs Kwara United Prediction: The Oga Boys will maintain their home record

Ikorodu City will strive to maintain their momentum on their home turf when they face off against Kwara United at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Sunday. The Oga Boys who have caused teams pains on their home turf will add Kwara United to the list of teams to have suffered casualties in their hands this campaign. 

Ikorodu City (7th)

Last five games: LWLWL

Nurudeen Aweroro's men suffered their ninth defeat of the campaign, conceding twice against Enugu Rangers on the road. The loss means they have now lost four consecutive matches on the road lately. Ikorodu City were below par against the defending champions, as they conceded twice. This was after their heavy victory over Kano Pillars in Lagos on Wednesday. 

The Lagos-based team and newly promoted Ikorodu City are gradually adapting to their new environment as they sit in the seventh spot on the log. They have picked up thirty-one points from a combined sixty-six, and are four points from playing continental football next season. 

They have won eight, drawn once and lost twice over their previous eleven home matches. 

Kwara United (14th)

Last five games: WLWLW

The Northern-based side returned to winning ways after their (2-1) loss against Niger Tornadoes on the road. Kwara United neutralised the attacking threats of their opponent, scoring twice and denying El Kanemi Warriors a goal at home. It was an impressive performance for Kwara United who did everything right in front of their home supporters. 

Kwara United are five points above the relegation spot after their poor start they must win here to vacate the zone. Tunde Sanni's men have been in fine form at home lately, but have managed a win in eleven away games. 

Expert Betting Tips

The reverse leg ended in a toothless stalemate from both teams as Ikorodu City walked away with a point. The Oga Boys showed class on their ground again defeating one of the oldest sides in the competition. They have been formidable in Lagos and are unbeaten in nine consecutive home games. On the other hand, the guests have been unstable away from home lately and they don’t stand a chance in Lagos tomorrow. 

To attain a top-four finish this campaign, Ikorodu City must secure the maximum possible points against their opponent. It’s not going to come easily, as Kwara United would at least fight for a point; however, Ikorodu City have been solid on their home turf and I expect them to be at their best here. 

Ikorodu City will be desperate to get their eighth home win against a side who have lost five consecutive games on the road; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.86 at (Betway). 

We anticipate a decent start from both teams, and we think a goal apiece might surface here for 2.50 at (1xbet). 

Ikorodu City have managed a win on the road this season, and to maintain their spot on the log, a home win is non-negotiable; I believe the hosts will win before the break for 2.07 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
