Prediction: Sporting Lagos 2-0 Heartland FC
We predict both teams not to score on Sporting Lagos vs Heartland FC and this is why. Heartland FC may have scored in four of their last six NPFL matches but they are unlikely to score against Sport Lagos because they went blank in three of their last four away matches.

Sporting Lagos won three and drew one in their last four home NPFL matches, including Monday’s 3-0 win over Kano Pillars. Away from home, the Lagosians lost twice and drew once in three matches. Their fine form keeps them in 6th place with 11 points after 7 games.
Heartland FC have drawn all three home matches in the NPFL this term so far. Away from home, they lost three and drew one in four matches. They are struggling; it’s obvious, and as a result, they are at the bottom of the table with only 4 points after 7 games.
