Euromatch Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL): Kun Khalifat vs Kwara United - Prediction, Betting Tips and Odds
Kun Khalifat will host Kwara United on Sunday in a Matchday 6 fixture of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season at the Enyimba Stadium.
Kun Khalifat Analysis
Kun Khalifat remain winless after five games this season. They began the campaign with back-to-back goalless draws against Abia Warriors and Barau FC, but have since suffered three straight defeats to Bendel Insurance, Rangers and Rivers United. Their most recent outing ended in a heavy 5-0 loss away to Rivers United, leaving them bottom of the table with just two points. Having conceded 13 goals in five matches, their defensive struggles have been clear to see.
Returning home, Kun Khalifat will be desperate for an improved display, with progress needed at both ends of the pitch if they are to secure their first win of the season.
Kwara United Analysis
Kwara United have picked up seven points from their opening five matches, with two wins, one draw and two defeats. They opened the season with a 2-2 draw against Kano Pillars, suffered a 1-0 loss to Plateau United, and then bounced back with an emphatic 3-0 win over Katsina United.
After a 1-0 defeat to Warri Wolves, they responded with a 2-1 victory over Nasarawa United on Matchday 5. They have looked well-organised so far this season, but their away form will be tested again against a Kun Khalifat side desperate for their first win.
