In their recent league fixture, Abia Warriors faced Remo Stars in the first leg of this encounter, suffering a 2-1 defeat. This loss marked Abia Warriors' third in five matches, with defeats against Bendel Insurance and Akwa United during that period.

Despite Sunday Megwo pulling one back for Abia Warriors in the second half with a goal in the 63rd minute, Ahmed Akinyele's contribution secured all three points for Remo Stars in that contest. As they approach the upcoming match, Remo Stars currently occupy the second spot in the league standings with 35 points, trailing the leaders, Lobi Stars, by just one point.

Remo Stars have demonstrated excellent form this season, making it challenging to wager against a team that is in the running for the league title. Despite Abia Warriors showcasing their prowess on their best days, I believe the visitors will have a significant say in the outcome of this match.
