Euromatch Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL): Barau FC vs Shooting Stars Prediction, Betting Tips and Odds
On Sunday afternoon, Barau FC will host Shooting Stars at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
Barau FC Form Analysis
Barau FC extended their winless streak to five games in a row after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Niger Tornadoes last time out. They have picked up 16 points from 11 matches and occupy seventh place on the table, having scored 13 goals and conceded 10. Their campaign has been encouraging so far, though they will be disappointed not to have converted more of their recent chances into victories. Playing at home gives them an opportunity to get back to winning ways.
Shooting Stars Form Analysis
Shooting Stars delivered an impressive display last time out, thrashing Abia Warriors 4-1. The victory on the Oluyole Warriors' home soil put a smile on the faces of their supporting fans after they had previously called for the management to sack their current coach, Salisu Yusuf. They now have 15 points from 11 games and occupy 10th place on the table, having scored 16 goals and conceded 15. Their attacking performance against Abia Warriors will give them confidence, but they must maintain that level against a Barau side that has been competitive this season.
