NPFL Matchday 33 Predictions

The NPFL round 32 saw Rivers United maintain their lead at the top of the table, although their lead is reduced to 1 point. For Gameweek 33, the current leaders might lose their lead at the top of the table. These are our predictions for gameweek 33:

Kwara United vs El Kanemi

Tip: Home to Win or Draw

Kwara United has been in good form in recent games. They have lost just 1 of their last 5 games in the league and won 3. They have also been unbeaten at home in their last five games.

El Kanemi has been very bad, losing their last 4 away games and failing to win any of their last 5 games in the league.

We expect Kwara United to win this game with ease, as El Kanemi is in poor shape generally and worse when playing away.

Remo Stars vs Shooting Stars

Tip: Both Teams to Score

This match features two teams in fine form. Remo Stars has won 3 of their last 5 games, losing just 1, but while at home, they are unbeaten in their last 4 games, winning 3 of those games.

Shooting Stars have lost 2 of their last 5 games but have won the rest. However, while they were away, they lost their last 5 matches. We expect Remo Stars to get a win in this game or both teams to score, as both teams are very good in front of the goal.

Rangers Int’l vs Barau

Tip: Home Win or Draw

Rangers of Enugu have been in excellent form in their recent games. They have lost just one of their last five games and won three of them. At home, they have won their last 5 matches.

Barau only has 2 wins from their last 5 games but lost only 1 game. However, while away, Barau has failed to win any of their last 5 games and has lost 2.

We expect the home team to win this game with ease or at least draw this game, as they are one of the strongest sides in the league.

Katsina Utd vs Niger Tornadoes

Tip: Under 2.5 Goals

Both teams are in poor form at the moment. Katsina United and the Niger Tornadoes have each won just 1-2 of their last five games in the NPFL. However, they have lost 2+ games each, and we expect this game to be a tight affair.

On the value side, under 2.5 goals seems like the best option for this game because both attacks are extremely poor as their recent games have all been low scoring.

Wiki Tourist vs. Enyimba

Tip: Any Team to Win

El Kanemi has been in good form in recent home games. They are unbeaten at home, having won two of their last five home games. However, they have won just 1 of their last 5 games in the league, losing 3.

Enyimba has been poor as well, winning two of their last five games and losing two. While playing away, they have lost 3 of their last 5 games.

We expect either team to win this game as it is not common to find draws in their games.

Abia Warriors vs Bayelsa United

Tip: Home to Win

Both Abia Warriors and Bayelsa United have been in mixed form in recent games. They have lost 2 and won 3 of their last 5 games. Abia Warriors are currently unbeaten in their last 5 games when playing at home, while Bayelsa United are winless in their last 5 away games.

We expect Abia Warriors to win this game, as they have won their last 5 home games against the away side.

Kano Pillars vs Bendel

Tip: Over 1.5 Goals

Both teams are in similar form in the Nigerian Premier League. They have both won just 2 of their last 5 games. However, when Kano Pillars are playing at home, they are unbeaten in their last 5 games, winning all 5 games.

Bendel have failed to win any of their last 5 games they played away. Backing Kano Pillars is a good bet for this game.

Plateau United vs Ikorodu City

Tip: Over 1.5 Goals

Both Plateau United and Ikorodu City have been in mixed shape in their recent games. They have won just 2 of their last 5 games, losing 2. However, while playing at home, Plateau United have won their last 5 games.

Ikorodu City has failed to win any of their last 3 games played away. We expect at least 2 goals in this game as both teams are good attacking-wise with bad defense. In their recent games, there have been many games with at least 2 goals scored.

Warri Wolves vs Rivers Utd

Tip: Home Win or Draw

While Rivers United are currently top of the NPFL table, they have been very poor in their last 5 games. They have won just 1 of their last 5 games, losing the rest. While playing away, they have lost their last 5 games.

Warri Wolves are not in the best form either, but they are unbeaten at home, and we expect them to win or at least get a draw from this game.

Nasarawa United vs. Kun Khalifa

Tip: Home to Win or Draw

Nasarawa still has a shot at lifting the title, even though they’re 5 points off the top. They face Kun Khalifa, who have been very poor in their away games.

Kun Khalifa have failed to win any of their last 5 away games and drew 1. We expect Nasarawa United to win or draw this game as the league will be coming to a close soon.
