Sunshine Stars vs Dakkada FC Prediction: A crucial matchup for Sunshine Stars

At Akure Township Stadium, Sunshine Stars will play bottom-placed Dakkada FC in round 18 of the NPFL.

In the previous games that Sunshine Stars played, they had a record of two victories against Lobi Stars and Niger Tornadoes and three defeats against Abia Warriors, Bayelsa United, and Rivers United. The Sunshine Stars were only able to score five goals while giving up five in those contests. During the current league season, the Sunshine Stars have averaged one goal scored per game they have played.

Dakkada FC comes into this match having won one of their previous five matches against Doma United, lost to Rivers United and Abia Warriors, and drawn with Enugu Rangers and Lobi Stars. In those games, the visiting team had a goal differential of minus three, as they had allowed six goals to their opponents. Away from home, Dakkada FC's offense only managed to score 0.93 goals per game, while their defense gave up 1.47. The overall percentage of time that Dakkada FC have had control of the ball during this season has averaged out to be 50.00%.

Only seven times in recent history have Sunshine Stars and Dakkada FC competed against one another, with Sunshine Stars coming out on top three times and Dakkada FC claiming victory twice. There were two games that finished in ties. The head-to-head matchups between the two teams resulted in a total of 7 goals scored by the Sunshine Stars and 8 goals scored by Dakkada FC.

This game is extremely important for the club that is playing at home since they need to win in order to have a chance at making it into the postseason. However, as it has already been decided that Dakkada FC will be demoted, the team will just compete for dignity in this match. As a result, we anticipate that the Sunshine Stars will exert total dominance over this game and come out on top with a score of 2-0.
