Nigeria Premier Football League: Warri Wolves vs El Kanemi Warriors Prediction, Betting Tips, and Odds

Warri Wolves will welcome El Kanemi Warriors to the Ozoro University Stadium on Sunday. El Kanemi are unbeaten in three of their last four games against Wolves, but are without a win at this venue in over two decades. Can they break the curse in this clash? Below is the analysis of the teams, prediction, and odds.

Warri Wolves: Form Analysis

Warri Wolves suffered a 2-1 loss to Kwara United in their last league game, following an excellent 1-0 win against league champions Remo Stars. The Warri-based club was already 2-0 behind in Ilorin before Peter Ita scored the consolation goal in the 72nd minute. Nevertheless, they have impressive, remaining unbeaten in four of their last six games and in their last six games at home. They sit 10th on the table with 33 points in 24 games, scoring 23 goals and conceding 22. A win for them in this game can send them as high as 6th on the table if other results work in their favour.

El Kanemi Warriors: Form Analysis

El Kanemi Warriors got a free three points in their last outing after Kun Khalifa failed to honour the clash. The side is full of motivation after a 1-0 win over Ikorodu City. Although they didn’t get to taste action last weekend, the win against Ikorodu is enough to carry them in this clash. They have now won five of their last six games, including one walkover, but their form on the road is bad. They have seen just one win in their 11 games on the road this season, with only Remo Stars having fewer points. They sit 9th on the table with 34 points in 23 games, scoring 19 goals and conceding 23.

Key facts and Head-to-Head stats

• Wolves are unbeaten in their last six games at home.

• El Kanemi have picked up four points on the road this season, with only Remo Stars picking fewer points.

• El Kanemi are unbeaten in three of their last four games against Wolves, but are without a win at this venue in over two decades.

Prediction

Wolves suffered a narrow 1-0 loss in their last game in Kwara, but they have been confident playing at home recently, and I think that confidence will actually give them a win in this game. Not only that, this venue has not been kind to visitors, with the visitors going winless here in over 20 years in their head-to-head meetings. Therefore, my prediction is a win for the hosts at 1.47 odds.
