Remo Stars vs Abia Warriors Prediction & Betting Tips - NPFL Premier League

Prediction published on 19/01/2024, 10:00  by Daniel Ngulu in NPFL Premier League Predictions

Remo Stars will be looking to leap back to the top of the Nigerian Premier League standings when they host Abia Warriors. The two sides are six points apart going into the game, Remo Stars second with 32 points and Abia Warriors are ninth on 26 points. Back at home, Remo Stars will be looking to bounce back after a 2-0 loss to Katsina United. That was their third defeat in the last five matches and a serious blow to their title ambitions. Their two wins in the last five matches came at home, with clean sheets, while they failed to score in just one of their last six. Remo Stars have done well at home too, winning each of their last four matches there. They are unbeaten in nine matches at home too. In 24 straight home league games, Remo are unbeaten, winning 19.

Abia Warriors are coming into this straight from a 3-0 win at Doma United. Their third win inside five matches will definitely be a motivation coming into this tough one. A win here could see Abia Warriors leap at least two places above, but that will call for improvement on their away run. They have been so poor away from home, coming here, they’ve not won in 15 away games. The visitors have lost 13 of those 15 away matches. In their last two visits to Remo Stars, they also suffered defeats. Eight times in their last 10 away matches, Abia Warriors conceded two or more goals.
