For the Sporting Lagos vs Kano Pillars prediction, we say this match will end in a 1-1 draw, and this is why.

Prediction: Sporting Lagos 1-1 Kano Pillars
We predict under 2.5 goals on Sporting Lagos vs Kano Pillars, and this is why. Two of Sport Lagos’ last three home matches ended with under 2.5 goals and three of their last six games ended the same, while four of Kano Pillars’ opening six matches ended with less than three goals.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Sporting Lagos gained promotion to the NPFL after a good run of performances in the lower division. However, they have struggled to replicate last season’s form this season so far, as they have only managed to win two of their first six matches. As a result of their inconsistency, the Lagos outfits sit in the 9th position with 8 points after two wins, two draws, and two defeats.
Kano Pillars have lost their opening three away matches in the NPFL this season so far, but what they lack in away matches, they make up for in home matches. They have cleared their opening three home games, and as a result, they sit in 4th place, one point better than Sporting Lagos.
