Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous seven meetings, Remo Stars have won once, while Niger Tornadoes have recorded three wins and three games ending in a stalemate. Remo Stars have struggled against the visitors over the years but have the upper hand, having won once and drawn a game over their previous two meetings. Remo Stars, who are title contenders, lost on the road recently, and a defeat here could end their dream of winning the NPFL title. On the other hand, Niger Tornadoes can be deadly on the road, having won two of their last four away games. They have also scored in eight consecutive matches, and we think they’ll fight here. 

However, with eight games to wrap up this season, the hosts can’t afford to drop points on their home soil; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.76.

We expect the visitors to at least get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.60.

This game won’t deprive us of goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.60.

Good luck!
