Plateau United vs Niger Tornadoes Prediction: Plateau hopeful of securing a win

Jos International Stadium will be the venue for the round 3 of the Nigeria Professional Football League game between Plateau United and Niger Tornadoes. Both teams have not suffered a defeat in the league this season. How will this game unfold?

Plateau United

Plateau United played Shooting Stars the previous weekend and settled for a 1-1 draw. In that encounter, Plateau United took the lead through Victor Dawa in the 41st minute of the game. However, Uche Odeh leveled the score for Shooting Stars before the break, and a goalless second half saw both teams settle for a draw. However, this team pulled off a 1-0 win in their league opener against Katsina United. Heading into this game, Plateau United have just one defeat in their last five matches. However, other encounters ended in two wins and two draws.  

Niger Tornadoes

Niger Tornadoes started their season on the road against Kwara United and secured a 1-2 win. In that game, Niger Tornadoes Joseph Godstime put this team in the lead in the 36th minute of the first half. However, it was in the 69th minute of the game that Ibrahim Sabiu made it 0-2 for Niger Tornadoes before Kwara United pulled one back before the end of the game through Sadeeq Yusuf’s goal. However, at home against Nasarawa United the previous weekend, this team could not score a single goal, and the game ended goalless. With four points from two league matches, Niger Tornadoes are seated 5th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams have what it takes to take maximum points in this fixture, and it is difficult to write either team off. While this game could go either way, Plateau United have a better chance at home. Yet, Niger Tornadoes have been very decent, and I expect them to be able to get on the scoresheet. Also, with a win in their first league game this season, I am backing Plateau United to win this encounter, too.
