Lobi Stars vs Kwara United Prediction: This fierce encounter will end in a goal apiece

On Saturday, Lobi Stars will face off against Kwara United at the Lafia City Stadium. The hosts are yet to taste defeat over their previous three matches against Kwara United, but their recent performances its a concern ahead of this clash tomorrow. 

Last five games: LWLDL

The Bauchi-based team sits comfortably at the bottom of the log, having won three of their previous fourteen league games. Lobi Stars head here with another poor display as they conceded three unanswered goals against Enugu Rangers on the road. The heavy loss makes it three games without a win as they struggle to perform. 

Things haven’t been going in the right direction for the hosts since the start of the season, as they have won the fewest games of all the teams in the league. 

Lobi Stars are aware that a win here would give them the confidence to surge ahead in the long run, and we expect them to approach this game with urgency. 

Last five games: LWWLW

The Northern-based side are gradually walking their way to the top as they move from eleventh place to seventh on the log. This was after their slim (1-0) victory over an in from Heartland Owerri on the road. Emmanuel Agaba scored the only goal in the game, which was enough to win them the maximum points. 

Kwara United are five points below the third spot despite their poor start and must win here to close the gap at the top. Kabiru Dogo's men have been in fine form lately, picking up twenty points from a possible forty-two. 

Kwara United have lost three, drawn three and won once over their previous seven away games. 

Lobi Stars have won eight while Kwara United have recorded three wins and a game ending in a tie over their previous twelve meetings. Lobi Stars have picked up 97% of all their points at home this season. They have been extremely poor this campaign, and we can’t guarantee them a win against a solid visiting team.

Even though Lobi Stars have won six of their last eight meetings against their guests, their form has been absolutely poor. 

The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet at home in over nine games this season, and with Kwara United forward Emmanuel Agaba scoring in five consecutive matches, I think a BTTS will surface here for 2.35.

This game will produce more than two goals for 2.40.

I think the guests will find the back of the net before the break for 3.20.

Good luck!
