NPFL Matchday 15: Expert betting tips, predictions and preview
The Nigeria Professional Football League continues with matchday 15, with some blockbuster matches slated for this midweek.
Here are the expert betting tips, predictions and previews for four matches featuring giants Enyimba, Rangers, Lobi Stars and Remo Stars.
Enyimba vs Rangers: The Real Oriental Derby
The match of the game week will see defending champions Enyimba welcome Rangers to the Aba Township Stadium on Wednesday.
This fixture sees two teams who appear to be moving in opposite directions at the moment go head-to-head.
- Form
Regarding their respective forms, the People’s Elephant have won four of the last five matches compared to Rangers, with three defeats and a draw.
- Prediction
The holders, Enyimba, are the favourites for this particular clash, with a scoreline of 2-0.
For the tip, both teams not to score, with under 2.5 goals also a wise bet.
Remo Stars vs Lobi Stars: Battle of the Stars
This clash will see two of the best teams this season in the NPFL face off in Ikenne.
Football League leaders, Remo Stars welcome second-placed Lobi Stars in what is essentially the top-of-the-table clash. But the key question is, who will shine brightest?
- Form
These two have an identical form, with three wins each in their last five matches in the NPFL.
However, when two elephants fight, the grass tends to suffer the most.
- Prediction
For this encounter, both teams are expected to share the spoils, with under 2.5 goals expected in Ikenne.
Sporting Lagos vs Bayelsa United
Newly promoted Sporting Lagos will play host to Bayelsa United and their superstar forward, Robert Mizo.
These two sides need the points in this fixture and cannot afford to drop further points in the NPFL.
- Form
In terms of their forms, Sporting Lagos and Bayelsa have only won just a single game in the last five matches in the NPFL, with two defeats each.
- Prediction
Both teams are expected to score, with under 2.5 goals also a wise choice to stake.
Bendel Insurance vs Abia Warriors
Another market day in Benin as Bendel Insurance host Abia Warriors in search of a quick return to winning ways.
- Form
Insurance have lost two and won two of the last five compared to Abia Warriors’ two wins and two draws in the same period.
Insurance will look to bounce back from that narrow defeat in Katsina, while for Warriors, the task is simple - build on the incredible win against Shooting Stars.
- Prediction
The Benin Arsenal are expected to make home advantage count in this fixture but are not known to score too many goals in the NPFL.
Therefore, under 2.5 goals is another brilliant choice to stake for what is expected to be a good market day in Benin.
Always bet responsibly and remember these predictions are not guaranteed outcomes but analyses put together using stats.
