Plateau United vs Remo Stars Prediction: Can the road team extend their lead atop the standings?

Nigeria Professional Football League action will move to Jos International Stadium, where Plateau United will play Remo Stars. Heading into this week's seven-game, the last meeting between these sides ended in a win for the home side in this venue. Will the record repeat itself

Plateau United

Plateau United ended on the losing end the previous time out against Bayelsa United and will look to turn the tables here. In that game, Plateau United conceded just four minutes into the game, which was the day's decider. However, Plateau United had 55 percent of the possession, with six shots attempted, which they could not convert in that game. In their first six matches of the season, Plateau United could only accumulate 8 points and sit 11th in the NPFL standings. 

Remo Stars

Remo Stars returned to winning ways the previous weekend against Nasarawa United and will hope to play at the top level again. In an encounter that ended 3-0, Remo Stars had to leave it until the second half to break the deadlock, with Alimi Sikiru putting them in the lead six minutes into the half. However, Remo Stars needed Ismaila Sodiq and Stanley Joseph’s strikes to seal maximum points in that encounter. Heading into this game, Remo Stars have five wins in their first six matches, leaving them seated at the top of the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

Remo Stars have been very good this season, with wins in two of their three road games already. While Plateau United are inconsistent and struggling, I think they have a lot of work to do here to show they are up for the task. This is one of the hottest games for the week, but Remo Stars look very good and confident right now. While the home team will have their chances, I expect the road team to go all out for defensive play. Take this game to end 1-0 for Plateau United.
