Remo Stars vs Enyimba Prediction & Betting Tips - NPFL Premier League

Prediction published on 11/03/2024, 11:00  by Daniel Ngulu in NPFL Premier League Prediction

Remo Stars will be back at home in the Nigerian Premier League, seeking to bounce back when they host Enyimba. With three points separating the two sides, this will be a key game in the title race. Hosts Remo Stars are fifth in the standings with 39 points. Trailing Enyimba by three points means this is a chance for them to leapfrog their visitors. Remo are coming from a rough patch of results and will want a win here to ease matters. They lost 4-1 away to Sporting Lagos right before this game. That was their second defeat in three matches, and they’ve won just once in four. In those four matches, they failed to score in two. It is however key to note that in those games they failed to win, they were the away side. Playing at home has come with different fortunes. In their last six home games, Remo Stars have registered straight wins, and are unbeaten in 26 league games at home. In 10 home league matches, Remo Stars have conceded just twice.

Enyimba are coming into this game on a more confident footing, after beating Doma United 1-0 in their last game. Chijioke Mbaoma scored the lone goal late in that game, his fifth in the last five matches. The forward will thus be fired up for this game. That victory took them to within a point of Lobi Stars, the league leaders. At 42 points from 24 matches, Enyimba are well in the title fight. There will however be two areas of concern for Enyimba heading into this game. They’ve failed to beat Remo Stars in the last five meetings, and have also struggled away from home. In Enyimba’s last 14 away matches, they managed just three wins. They have six losses in their last 10 away league matches and given their form against Remo Stars, there’s reason to be concerned here.
