Nigeria Premier Football League: Kano Pillars vs Enyimba Prediction, Betting Tips, and Odds
Kano Pillars will settle scores against Enyimba on Sunday in Matchday 31 of the Nigeria Premier Football League. The hosts have won the last ten games between the two sides. Can Kano Pillars make this count? Below is the analysis of the teams, prediction, and odds.
Kano Pillars: Form Analysis
Kano Pillars picked up a huge point in their last game against Niger Tornadoes. The game ended goalless, but it was enough for Sai Masu Gida in their relegation battle. They are now unbeaten in five of their last six games, including three wins. They have been impressive at home, winning their last four games and eight of their last nine. They sit 17th on the table with 36 points in 30 games, scoring 23 goals and conceding 28. While they still remain in the relegation zone, a win in this game will send them to safety with seven games left in the season.
Enyimba: Form Analysis
Enyimba bounced back to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Plateau United in their last game. Goals from Paul Odeh and Ufere Chinedu were enough to secure the win. The Peoples' Elephant have now managed one win in their last six games and are winless in their last 13 games on the road. They sit 15th on the table with 36 points in 30 games, scoring 31 goals and conceding 32. They are on the same point with Kano Pillars, who sit in last place in the relegation pool, and a loss for the Aba Warriors would likely send them to the relegation zone.
