Nasarawa United vs Lobi Stars Prediction: The guests won’t bow without a fight here

Nasarawa United will square off against Lobi Stars in an attempt to return to winning ways at the Lafia City Stadium on Saturday. The guests who have failed to win any game on the road this year will be keen to secure the maximum points against their opponent. 

Nasarawa United (20th)

Last five matches: LLLWL

With one win in six games, Nasarawa United have been the worst team in the division. They march here with a (3-2) loss against Heartland Owerri on the road. This time, they played really well and we think they deserved a point at least. They were leading (1-2) up until the 84th minute, but the hosts responded twice to snatch the lead. This was after their (2-1) victory over Bendel Insurance on their home turf. 

The Solid Miners have not been consistent lately, as they head here with eight defeats in fifteen games this season. 

The Solid Miners have managed two home wins since promotion, and they’ll be without the likes of Anas Yusuf and Collins tomorrow.

Lobi Stars (16th)

Last five games: WLDLW

The Bauchi-based team moved up on the standings after their (1-0) victory over Kwara United on their home turf. Peter Onah scored the only goal that won them the maximum points on their home turf. The victory ended their three games without a breakthrough in the league. 

Things haven’t been going in the right direction for the guests 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. 

Expert Betting Tips

Lobi Stars have won five while Nasarawa United have recorded six victories and a game ending in a tie over their last fourteen meetings. Both teams will be without some key players who are on international duty and Nasarawa United will be affected more as they’ll approach this game in the absence of league top scorer Anas Yusuf. He’ll be seriously missed for this encounter, and we will have to apply caution here. I’m not sure the hosts will be able to win this game, and I’ll settle for a halftime stalemate here for 2.05.

This game might probably produce a goal here for

I expect to see goals after the break for 2.14.

Good luck!
