Lobi Stars vs Heartland Owerri Prediction: This fierce encounter will end in favor of the home team

Lobi Stars will face off against Heartland Owerri on Sunday at the Lafia City Stadium. The hosts are yet to taste defeat over their previous three meetings against Heartland Owerri, but their recent performances are a concern ahead of this clash tomorrow.

Lobi Stars (20th)

Last five games: LWLWL

The Bauchi-based team sits comfortably at the bottom of the log, having won five of their previous eighteen league games. Lobi Stars head here with another poor display as they conceded once against Bendel Insurance on the road. The defeat makes it nine games without a win away from home in this competition. 

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. 

Heartland Owerri FC (13th)

Last five games: LWLDL

The Nazi Millionaires are struggling again as they head here with just a win over their last five matches. More recently, they lost by two goals to nil against Akwa United on the road. It was another disappointing display from a side who were pretty good at some point in the league. 

Amuneke has been unimpressive lately and has to work on their game management. 

Heartland Owerri have picked up twenty-one points from a combined fifty-four, scoring seventeen and conceding twenty. Amuneke's men will be keen to secure all the points on the road even though they’ve managed one win in nine away games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Lobi Stars have won seven while Heartland Owerri have recorded four wins and two games ending in a tie over their previous thirteen meetings. Lobi Stars have picked up 97% of all their points at home this season. They have been extremely poor on the road in this campaign, and their only hope to survive relegation is to win on their home turf. 

Lobi Stars are unbeaten against the guests in their last three meetings and for the fact that they always won on their ground, we expect them to win and score less than three goals here for 1.80.

I expect to see at least a goal from Lobi Stars before the break for 1.83.

I think this game will end with a correct score of (2-0) for 5.60.

Good luck!
