Bayelsa United vs Shooting Stars Prediction: We expect more than two goals in this crucial game

Bayelsa United will be keen to remain in the Premier League when they face off against Shooting Stars at the Samson Siasia Stadium on Sunday. Diepreye Teibowei's men have regained their confidence, having gone three games without a defeat, and they'll be determined to secure the maximum points against highly motivated visitors. 

Last five games: WLWDD

Diepreye Teibowei's men have been in decent form lately, heading here with a (1-1) stalemate against Enyimba Aba on the road. All thanks to Ekeson Okorie, who found the back of the net to cancel the hosts' early lead. Before then, they had settled for (2-2) stalemate at home against Sporting Lagos. That’s a good comeback but a devastating result, considering they are now in the relegation spot. 

Bayelsa United moved to 16th on the log, having picked up forty-four points from a combined thirty-six games. The hosts have won ten, lost four and drawn four on their ground this season. 

Last five games: WDWLW

The Oluyole Warriors are confident of playing continental football next season, following their decent run lately. Shooting Stars march here with a (1-0) victory over Enugu Rangers on their ground. The result means Shooting Stars will retain their spot on the log after picking fifty-nine points from their last thirty-six games in the division. Shooting Stars have won twice, drawn six, and lost ten of their previous eighteen away games. 

Shooting Stars have won twice and drawn once over their last three meetings. The guests are gearing up for a top-four finish, and a slip-up here might cost them their place on the log. At the same time, Bayelsa United are sky-high in confidence coming into this encounter after their (1-1) stalemate on the road against title contender Enyimba Aba. Both teams are desperately in need of the maximum points here, but both teams will get a goal apiece here for 2.03.

The hosts' last four games on their ground have produced a BTTS and over 2.5 goals, and we expect such to play out here. 

For Shooting Stars to stand a chance in this match, they must at least get a goal before the break.

Good luck!
