Ikorodu City have the chance to go joint top in the Nigerian Premier League when they host Kano Pillars this Sunday. Heading into the 34th round of matches, Ikorodu are third, while Pillars enter the weekend placed 14th. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Ikorodu’s title ambitions were dealt a massive blow last time out as they suffered a 4-1 defeat at Plateau United. A win would have seen them go joint top, but they were left reflecting on the end of their three-game unbeaten run.
Hosting this game will, however, come as a welcome break, Ikorodu being one of the three sides unbeaten at home this season (12W, 4D).
Kano Pillars were 2-1 winners in these teams’ reverse meeting back in November. They will be targeting a league double over Ikorodu, and their resounding 4-0 win over Bendel in the last game would be a motivator.
The win was a crucial one, as Pillars, on 42 points, remain in the relegation picture, being two points above the drop zone. It is their away form that leaves more concerns for the visitors.
On the road, they have only won once in their 16 matches in the league and lost 12. Away to Ikorodu, they’ve lost in both earlier visits, suffering identical 4-1 defeats.
