NPFL Matchday 25 Predictions
The NPFL round 24 saw Rivers United maintain their lead at the top of the table despite not playing 3 games in a row. For Gameweek 24, the current leaders might drop out of the top position as they are just a point ahead. These are our predictions for gameweek 25:
Wiki Tourist vs Katsina Utd
Tip: Over 1.5 Goals
Both teams have been in mixed form in recent games as the home team Wikki Tourist are unbeaten in their last 3 games, although they have just 1 win in their last 5 games. Katsina Utd won their last game, but they have been inconsistent in recent games.
We expect at least 2 goals in this game because there have been at least 2 goals scored in 3 of each team’s last 5 games. Also, in 4 of their last 5 meetings, there have been over 1.5 goals scored.

Abia Warriors vs Rangers Int’l
Tip: Home to WIn
Abia Warriors have won just 1 of their last 5 games, losing 2 while Rangers have won 3 losing just 1. Also, Rangers are third on the table while Abia Warriors are currently 5th with just a point separating the two.
Despite the forms, these teams are currently in, when these two meet, the home team always takes the win. We expect home advantage in this game and Abia Warriors to win this game.

Kano Pillars vs Remo Stars
Tip: Home Win or Draw
Remo Stars was last season’s NPFL champions, but currently they are a shadow of themselves. They have sold their big players and might be relegated this season. With just 1 win in thier last 5 games and no win in their last 4, we don’t see them beating Kano Pillars at home.
Kano Pillars have won 2 of their last 5 games, and we expect them to win or at worst draw this game. When playing at home, Kano Pillars have lost just 1 of their last 5 games and won the rest.
Plateau United vs Kwara United
Tip: Home to Win
Plateau United have seen a surge in form as they are unbeaten in their last 5 games, winning 3. On the other hand, Kwara United are in very poor form, even though they won their last game. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games.
With Plateau United playing at home, we expect them to continue with their fine form against an out-of-shape Kwara United.
Warri Wolves vs El Kanemi
Tip: Any Team to Win
Both teams are in similar form in their last 5 games. They have each won at least 3 of their last 5 games, but while Warri Wolves have lost 2 games, El Kanemi has lost 1.
We believe that any team can win this game because both teams are in good form. Also, this outcome has played out in 4 of their last 5 meetings, with just 1 game ending in a draw.
Kun Khalifa vs Shooting
Tip: Over 1.5 Goals
Both teams are in similar form in their last 5 games. They have each lost 3 of their last 5 games. However, while Kun Khalifa has won 1 of these games, Shooting has won 2.
We expect at least 2 goals in this game because both teams score comfortably. At least 80% of their last 5 games in the league had over 1.5 goals, and this outcome was seen in their last meeting.
Rivers United vs Barau
Tip: Home to Win or Draw
The Current leaders haven’t played an NPFL game in a long while, and they return to action against an in-form Barau. The away team is in good form as they are unbeaten in their last 5 games, although they have won just 2 of those games.
We expect Rivers United to return to the league with a bang and try to extend the gap at the top of the table. Being more rested and playing at home, we expect them to win or draw this game.
Ikorodu City vs Niger Tornadoes
Tip: Over 1.5 Goals
Both teams have been inconsistent in form; Ikorodu City have alternated wins and losses in their last 5 NPFL games. Niger Tornadoes, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last 3 games, winning just 1.
We expect over 1.5 goals in this game as both teams are known for their high-scoring fixtures. In 3 of their last 5 meetings, there have been at least 2 goals scored in each of these games.
Bendel vs Enyimba
Tip: Home to Win or Draw
Both teams have been in bad shape, even though they have managed to stay unbeaten in their last 2 games. Bendel is in better form as they have lost just 1 of their last 5 games, while Enyimba have lost 2.
Enyimba is currently poor and lacks confidence, and playing away from home isn’t the best for them right now. We expect Bendel to win or at least draw this game to continue their push for a Champions League spot.
Nasarawa United vs Bayelsa United
Tip: Home to Win or Draw
Nasarawa United are currently in the 2nd position, with just a point off Rivers United, who are in the first position. Nasarawa are unbeaten in their last 4 games, as they have played 2 draws and wins. Bayelsa, on the other hand, has won just 1 of its last 5 games.
We expect the home team to win or draw this game. Aside from their good form, they have the motivation, and Bayelsa have failed to beat Nasarawa in their last 4 meetings.
