This Nigeria Premier Football League round 18 fixture will see second-placed Nasarawa United host 17th-placed Barau FC at the Lafia Township Stadium on Tuesday. The Solid Miners could go top of the league standings with a win against the Maliya Boys. Here is our prediction. 

Nasarawa United held Plateau United to a goalless draw in their last game to close the gap to the top to just two points. They have avoided defeat in six of their last seven matches and will look to bounce back on Tuesday after the Plateau United stalemate.

Additionally, Mohammed Baba Ganaru's side boasts a solid home record heading into this match. They are unbeaten at the Lafia Township Stadium this season, winning seven of their eight games at the venue.

Barau FC head into this match on the back of an impressive home win over Rivers United on Friday. Kabiru Abdullahi's second-half brace saw the Maliya Boys ease to a 4-1 victory over the league leaders. However, the newly promoted side are in for a tough challenge on Tuesday, having gone winless in their last five away games (D2, L3).
