We predict Enyimba will win 1-0 against Bayelsa United, and this is why. The hosts won only two of their last five home matches, which isn’t a good record given that the NPFL is all about home teams clearing off their home matches. Enyimba are clear of Bayelsa Utd, quality-wise, and the chances of them winning this encounter are decent.
We predict under 2.5 goals on Bayelsa United vs Enyimba, and this is why. Three of Bayelsa Utd’s last five league matches ended with less than three goals, while four of Enyimba’s last five matches ended with under 2.5 goals.
Bayelsa United only won one of their last five league matches, but they pulled off an impressive display in Lagos when they drew 1-1 against Sporting Lagos. Overall, they have endured a slow start to the season, and it’s no surprise they sit in the 19th position with 14 points after 15 games.
Enyimba are in decent form, having won three and lost one of their last five league matches. Although they drew 1-1 at home against Enugu Rangers, there’s a chance they can bounce back to winning ways on Thursday when they face struggling Bayelsa Utd. Their current decent form is the reason they are only six points off the submit, having played two games less.
