Prediction published on 03/04/2024, 02:29  by Daniel Ngulu in NPFL Premier League Predictions

Nigerian Premier League champions Enyimba have a home date against Kano Pillars in the 28th round of matches. These two are two places apart, Enyimba in fourth spot while Kano Pillars are sixth. Enyimba’s title defence has so far been shaky; with 45 points, they trail league leaders Enugu Rangers by three. They’ve suffered 10 defeats already – the most of any side in the top four. The most recent of these defeats came in their last game, an away clash at Kwara United. Cooper Ikenna’s first goal of the season would be any special as they lost 2-1 to Kwara United. It was their third defeat in five matches and Enyimba scored more than once in just one of the five games. However, they have a lot to be positive about looking at their home form. In their last five home matches, Enyimba posted straight wins. They are unbeaten in eight home matches, drawing just one. Six of their last eight home matches produced under 2.5 goals.

In the first meeting of the season between these two sides, Kano Pillars registered a 1-0 win. That was their third win in four meetings with Enyimba. none of these wins came away from home though, with Enyimba winning in Kano’s last away game in this fixture. Kano’s hopes of upsetting Enyimba will be bent on building on their win in the last outing. They beat Sporting Lagos 1-0, returning to winning ways after a run of five winless outings. In their last six matches, Kano Pillars suffered three defeats, denting their league title chase. At 41 points, they are seven behind the league leaders. An easier target for now will be to rise into the continental football slots. They are four points off the Confederations Cup slot. As they seek a win here, Kano Pillars will need to improve on an away run that has no win in seven games. They lost four of those seven matches, five of which had under 2.5 goals.
