Plateau United will be visiting Lobi Stars in a battle for top spot in the Nigerian Premier League. These two sides are two points apart, Plateau United third and Lobi Stars at the helm. Hosts Lobi Stars displaced Remo Stars at the summit after a 1-1 draw with Kano Pillars. With a three-game unbeaten run, they will be hoping to improve on that result. They will have reason to feel they dropped two points in their last game, having led early before being pegged back at home. In their second straight home match they’ll target a first win in four meetings with Plateau United. Most of their recent matches have returned low scores, each of the last four producing under 2.5 goals. A nine-game unbeaten run at home should give Lobi Stars the needed confidence for this game.

Plateau United will be targeting a third straight win coming into this game. Their 1-0 win over Enyimba was a massive one in their title ambitions. After two straight home matches, and wins, they will hope to replicate the same here. Plateau United have also done well in recent meetings with Lobi Stars and will be gunning for three points in this encounter. Coming here with two clean sheets only in their last 10 matches will be among the biggest worries for the visitors. A run of two wins in 15 away matches is the other concern. Plateau United will however hope that their previous record against Lobi Stars comes to play.
