Remo Stars will be more than happy to return home for their Nigerian Premier League fixture against Bayelsa United. Two straight winless outings have seen Remo drop to fourth, while Bayelsa come to this game placed 14th. A few weeks back, Remo Stars were well perched at the summit of the league. However, one point in their last two matches means they are trailing the leaders Lobi Stars by three points. They’ve managed 36 so far, after 21 matches. Having a game in hand, Remo Stars will feel they could still rise to the league summit. They are coming from a 1-0 defeat away to Enugu Rangers, their second straight game without scoring. In their last four matches, Remo Stars have scored just twice. Four of their last five matches produced under 2.5 goals. They will be banking on their home form to guide them past Bayelsa, whom they beat 2-1 in the reverse fixture. Remo Stars are unbeaten in their last 10 home matches and have clean sheets in seven of the last eight.

Bayelsa United will be eyeing revenge for their loss at home to Remo Stars in October. Being just six points above the relegation region is another reason to target three points here. Fortunately, Bayelsa are in good form and will not have to look too far for motivation coming into this game. They are unbeaten in the last five matches, winning four, and all wins were with clean sheets. Their most recent win was at home to Doma United in which Ekeson Okorie grabbed a brace to guide them to a 2-0 victory. While they have scored in each of their last five matches, Bayelsa have conceded just one goal in that period. It is their away form that will worry coach Meremu Okara; his team has just a win in 13 away matches. In this form, and facing a side that has done well at home, Bayelsa will be clear underdogs here.
