Kwara United vs Shooting Stars Prediction: The home side will attempt to end their guests' unbeaten run

Kwara United will lock horns against Shooting Stars FC in their attempt to return to winning ways at the Kwara State Complex Stadium on Wednesday. Can the guests pull a surprise stunt here and maintain their eight successive games without a loss?

Kwara United (14th)

Last five games: LWLWL

The Northern-based side bowed to their ninth defeat of the season against Ikorodu City on the road. Kwara United, who scored first, were outplayed by their opponents in Lagos. They surrendered to a (2-1) loss on the road, making it five successive losses away from home. Before then, they defeated El Kanemi Warriors (2-0) on their home turf. 

Kwara United are five points above the relegation sp,ot but a win here will move them closer to a top-four finish. Tunde Sanni's men have been in fine form at home lately, picking up twenty-three points from a possible thirty.

Shooting Stars (2nd)

Last five games: WWWDW

The Oluyole Warriors have been electrifying at home, with eight consecutive wins. Shooting Stars scored late against a stubborn Bendel Insurance as Godwin Odibo came from the bench to score one of the most important goals of the season for his side. They are one of the longest unbeaten run in the league, with eight matches without a loss. 

Shooting Stars are back in the title race following their stalemate on the road against Plateau United and (1-0) victory over Bendel Insurance. Shooting Stars, who are in the form of their lives, presently occupy the second place on the log. 

Since their (2-0) SouthWest Derby loss against Remo Stars, Shooting Stars have won seven and drawn once in the division. The Oluyole Warriors have picked up forty points from a combined sixty-six, scoring twenty-two and conceding fourteen. Shooting Stars have won twice, lost six and drawn two games on the road this campaign. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous nine meetings, Kwara United have managed two wins while Shooting Stars SC have won five times and two games ending in a tie. Kwara United's struggle on the road continue as they were overwhelmed by a solid Ikorodu City team. On the other hand, Shooting Stars have been clinical on their home turf lately, considering the quality of their opponent, as they scored once to amass all the points against Bendel Insurance. 

Kwara United's only means of survival in the league this campaign is to consistently rack up points at home, as they have now lost six straight matches on the road. They’ll face off against the most in-form team in the division tomorrow. 

Given the home advantage and Kwara United's decent home form, I’ll opt for a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals, as Shooting Stars could potentially hit on the counter for 1.78 at (Betway).

The guests will most definitely score at least a goal, so we might likely see a total of over 2.5 goals here for 2.53 at (1xbet).

I also think both teams might settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.89 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
