Prediction published on 06/04/2024, 04:03  by Daniel Ngulu in NPFL Premier League Predictions

Remo Stars will play host to Akwa United in their next Nigerian Premier League assignment this Saturday. At 46 points, Remo are well in the title race, while struggling Akwa have 31 points, kept in the relegation zone by goal difference. Remo Stars earned a point from their last game, a 0-0 draw with Gombe United away from home. It hasn’t been great for them on the road, failing to score in the last two games, and a return to playing at home is welcome. Remo Stars have bagged wins in each of their last eight home games. Their home form is so good, that Remo have conceded just one goal in the last 11. They are unbeaten in 28 league matches at home and will be confident of edging Akwa United. As they have a game in hand, a win here would take them to second in the standings.

Akwa United aren’t having their dream season, and come into this game sitting in the relegation zone. They have 31 points but have played five more matches than the team in the safe zone, Rivers United. At the moment, it is an inferior goal difference that’s keeping them in the relegation zone. A tally of 13 defeats in their 28 matches isn’t helping. One of their eight wins in the league this season was the 3-2 victory over Remo Stars in the reverse fixture. They will be keen to complete a double over their hosts, and their head-to-head record would favor them. In the last five meetings between these two, Akwa United emerged winners four times. However, only one of those wins came away from home. That is consistent with their recent away run, having won just once in the last 14 away matches. Akwa United have lost eight of their last 10 away matches.
