Gombe United vs Niger Tornadoes Prediction: Both sides are not reliable

Gombe United and Niger Tornadoes will compete against one another in a Nigeria Professional Football League match that will take place at Gombe Township Stadium Pantami. Both of these teams have been doing poorly leading up to this match, which should not be a surprise. Which side do you believe will prevail now that they have another opportunity to keep things going in the right direction and get back to winning ways? 

Gombe United came out on top in two of their most recent matches, which were played against Bendel Insurance and Plateau United. On the other hand, the three previous matches that were played not too long ago all resulted in losses. The host team suffered defeats at the hands of Akwa United, Doma United, and Remo Stars in those matches. During the course of those matches, Gombe United was only able to score two goals while giving up eight goals to its opponents. During the current league season, Gombe United has scored a total of 0.63 goals on average per game. In terms of disciplinary action, the away team was given one red card and 12 yellow cards during their match at home. Gombe United has an average possession of the ball of 48.80% so far this season, indicating that they are somehow unable to maintain the ball.

Niger Tornadoes come into this encounter against Bayelsa United having won just one of their previous five matches against the club. On the other hand, Sporting Lagos and Shooting Stars defeated the away team, while Enyimba and Bendel Insurance were able to draw with them in their other two games. During the course of those games, the Niger Tornadoes scored three goals but gave up six goals to their opponents. Away from home, the Niger Tornadoes scored 0.63 goals on average per game while allowing 1.13 goals to be scored against them. The Niger Tornadoes' overall average of 49.83% throughout this season demonstrates how weak they are at maintaining possession of the ball.

After a string of less than stellar showings, I anticipate the two home teams to get back on track with a victory or two here. Given that both sides are anticipated to put more emphasis on their defensive play, betting on under is yet another alternative that might be considered.
