Fifth-placed Abia Warriors host seventh-placed Shooting Stars in this Nigeria Premier Football League Matchday 29 clash on Sunday. Can the Umuahia-based side overcome Shooting Stars to reignite their league title hopes? Here is our prediction.
Abia Warriors fell short of breaking into the top four in the Nigeria Premier Football League standings after their 2–0 defeat to El Kanemi Warriors last time out. That loss left them fifth in the standings on 43 points.
Nevertheless, Imama Amapakabo's charges are just four points behind second-placed and title contenders Enugu Rangers and could reignite their slender title hopes with a win. They have avoided defeat in three of their last four matches and are unbeaten in their last three home fixtures.
Shooting Stars are also strongly in the race for the Nigerian top flight title. They edged Kano Pillars 2–1 in their last game to bounce back from a heavy defeat to Plateau United. That victory moved them within six points of the top two, with a game in hand.
Notably, the Oluyole Warriors enter Sunday's contest as underdogs with three defeats in their last five matches. They have lost their last five away matches, including their previous six trips to face Abia Warriors.
