Prediction: Lobi Stars 2-0 Gombe United
We predict both teams not to score on Lobi Stars vs Gombe United, and this is why. Lobi Stars may have failed to keep a clean sheet in three of their last five home matches, but they are likely to keep one against Gombe Utd, who scored only once in their last five away matches.
Betting Tip: Both teams not to score
Lobi Stars won three and lost two of their last five league matches. They succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat on the road against Bendel Insurance last time out. And the Makurdi side is keen on bouncing back to winning ways. Lobi Stars sit in the 3rd position with 20 points after 11 matches.
Gombe United lost four and won one of their last five league matches, including Sunday’s 5-2 home defeat to Kano Pillars. The Savannah scorpions won four and lost seven in their first 11 matches in the NPFL and as a result of their poor start to the season, they are occupying the 16th position with 12 points.
