Prediction published on 08/03/2024, 10:00  by Daniel Ngulu in NPFL Premier League Prediction

Doma United will be keen to arrest their freefall in the Nigerian Premier League when they travel to Enyimba on Sunday. Hosts Enyimba will head into this game two places outside the continental spots while Doma have dropped to ninth. After 23 matches, Enyimba have registered 39 points, one short of Enugu Rangers, occupants of the Confederations Cup slot. As per their profile, Enyimba should be targeting higher than the Confederation Cup but an inconsistent run has them in fifth place. Right ahead of this game they suffered a 3-1 away loss to struggling Akwa United. That marked the end of their three-match unbeaten run which had two wins in it. They also conceded for the first time in four matches. Enyimba will be glad to return home for this game, as they have a great run at home. In their last six home matches, they haven't lost, only drawing once. They’ve also kept clean sheets in each of the last three matches at home and will be very confident coming into this one.

Doma United beat Enyimba 1-0 in the reverse fixture and will be targeting a double over the Aba giants. They will need that to rise again after a run of six matches without a win. The visitors have actually managed just two wins in their last 10 matches ahead of this encounter. In their last outing, they managed a 0-0 draw with Sporting Lagos at home. That result marked a third straight match in which they failed to score. It hasn’t been great defensively either, as they have just one clean sheet in the last six matches, and three in 10. They will find little comfort in their away run, Doma having lost all of their last five away matches. In three of the last four away matches, they also failed to score. Doma come into this game holding just one win in their last 20 away matches. That was a 3-0 win over struggling Gombe United.
