Sunshine Stars
Gbangi Ogunbote's team is battling for survival in the Premier League, yet recent results indicate that staying in the top tier will be challenging. In their last league encounter, Sunshine Stars were soundly defeated by Kano with a scoreline of 1-5. This defeat marks their third consecutive loss in the last five matches, with their only points earned at home, drawing twice with Kwara and Niger Tornadoes. Currently, the team from Akure occupies the 18th position in the league table, with 23 points accrued. They are separated from the safety zone by just one point.
Lobi
The "Suswan Boys" lead the Nigerian championship, yet Evans Ogenyi's team cannot boast consistent results. In the previous round, Lobi narrowly defeated Heartland at home, scoring the only goal in the middle of the second half. This victory is their third in the last five matches, but they also suffered an away defeat to Plateau with a score of 1-2 and dropped points at home against Kano – one of their competitors in the upper part of the league table. As a result, after 21 matches, Lobi has accumulated 39 points, while three of their closest pursuers, namely Remo Stars, Kano, and Enyimba, have 36 points each.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- In the first leg, Lobi defeated Sunshine Stars at home with a score of 3-2, although prior to that, Sunshine Stars had been stronger in two encounters.
- In the last two meetings, bets were placed on "Total over 2.5" and "both teams to score," although in the previous four encounters, only one team scored.
Sunshine Stars vs Lobi Prediction
The visitors should dominate this encounter. They approach the match in better playing form. While Lobi may scrape points at home, it's unlikely they can pull off this feat against the league leaders. We suggest taking the bet of "Total under 2.0" with odds of 1.75.
