The new season in the Nigerian Premier League is here and on Match Day 1, Plateau United will host Katsina United in Jos. Both teams closed last season with losses and would wish for good starts. Let’s have a prediction on how they could open this campaign.

Plateau United will be eyeing their first win in three league matches here. They drew with Kano Pillars in their final home match before ending the season with an away 2-0 loss at Enyimba. In their last meeting with Katsina, they suffered a 2-1 loss and will be eyeing revenge.

Fortunately, they have a good run at home, and will bank on that here. In their 19 home matches last season, Plateau United only lost once. They bagged 15 wins in all their home league matches in the 2023/24 campaign.

In a fixture that doesn’t favor the away team, Katsina United will be attempting a first ever away victory against Plateau United. A win here will also grant Katsina United a second straight success over Plateau United for only the second time in history.

The first time they achieved that was with wins in 2018 and 2020. The visitors lost in all their previous five trips here. It makes things bleaker for them that in the last eight league matches, they managed just two wins.

This is bound to be even tougher seeing that last season Katsina United didn’t manage an away league win. The last time the visitors won an away game in the league was in 2021.
