Enugu Rangers are a massive force at home, having won eight of their last nine league home matches, while Akwa United have underperformed away from home with eight defeats and one draw in their last nine away matches. Given both teams’ performances this season so far, we predict Enugu Rangers to win 2-0.
There’s an 80% chance that the Enugu Rangers vs Akwa United match will end with under 2.5 goals because eight of Enugu Rangers’ last ten matches ended with under 2.5 goals, while eight of Akwa United’s last ten matches ended with less than three goals.
Enugu Rangers are unbeaten at home this season after eight wins and one draw in nine attempts. They have a chance to extend their fine home form when they host struggling Akwa United this weekend, and a win will take them as high as sixth with 31 points.
Akwa United are dreadful away from home, managing only one point in their last nine league away matches. They are only three points off the relegation zone as a result, and a defeat in Enugu will likely see them fall into the bottom three to further put their season in jeopardy.
