Remo Stars have struggled away from home in the NPFL this term, with only two wins to show for in their last nine league trips, while Abia Warriors are a solid side at home, with eight wins from their last nine home matches. Given the form of both teams, we predict Abia Warriors to win 1-0.
For the Abia Warriors vs Remo Stars prediction, we predict under 2.5 goals will be scored. Although seven of Abia Warriors’ last ten matches ended with over 2.5 goals and the reverse fixture produced three goals, we believe this encounter could lack goals because Remo Stars struggle to score goals away from home and seven of their last ten matches ended with under 2.5 goals.
Abia Warriors are so strong at home, having won eight of their last nine home league matches. They lost 2-1 away from home against Remo Stars last time out, but they have a chance to give a response when they host Remo in the return leg this weekend in Umuahia. The Pride of Abia won two and lost three of their last five league matches, and they currently sit in the 10th position with 26 points.
Remo Stars are somewhat poor away from home, having only managed two wins out of nine attempts. However, they beat Abia Warriors 2-1 at home last time out and have a chance to do the league double over the Pride of Abia, which will subsequently take them to the top of the table, pending Lobi Stars’ result.
