Katsina United will be out to protect their undefeated run as they travel to Lafia to face Lobi Stars. Second placed Lobi Stars have the chance to go top and a home game against seventh placed Katsina is perfect for that. Coming into this game, Lobi Stars suffered an away 2-0 loss at Sunshine Stars, felled by goals from Vincent Temitope and Chigozie Iwundu. That marked their second defeat in three matches and they’ll be here seeking a third win in five matches. Both their recent wins came at home, where they have a relatively good run, unbeaten in 11, with 10 wins. Lobi Stars have posted wins in half of their last 10 matches. A consistent trend in the 10 matches is that they mostly end in low scores. Eight of the 10 matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Katsina United are on a good run coming into this game. Their 3-2 win over Kano Pillars in their last game marked their sixth unbeaten outing. They have four wins in those six matches, and take to this game just two losses in 11 matches. In this shape, the visitors will be a tough nut to crack for Lobi Stars. Katsina United have so far managed 34 points, a tally placing them five points behind second placed Lobi Stars. However, they haven't beaten Lobi Stars in any of their last six meetings. The last time they won this fixture was in 2019. Notably though, Katsina United haven't won an away game in the last 34 outings. They even failed to score in three of their last four away matches. All but one of their last 10 away matches produced under 2.5 goals.
