NPFL Matchday 14: Expert betting tips, predictions and preview
A look at betting tips and predictions for three games featuring Lobi Stars, Doma United, Remo Stars, Kano Pillars, and Plateau United in the NPFL.
Enugu Rangers vs Sporting Lagos - Form
In terms of where these two are on the form table heading into this all-important battle, the Flying Antelopes are in bad shape.
Rangers are winless in their last five matches, with three successive defeats. For Sporting Lagos, it’s mixed, with just one win and two draws in the same period.
- League Position
Their respective forms are reflected in the standings where both sides are separated by just one point.
Sporting Lagos sit 11th on the table with 16 points while Rangers are three spots below with 15 points.
- Match Analysis
After a brilliant start to the season under the guidance of Fidelis Ilechukwu on the pitch and the vibrant Barrister Amobi Ezeaku off the field, the Flying Antelopes have lost their footing in the NPFL.
But while Rangers have struggled for form, they have looked good in Akwa, where they have won four and drawn one in five matches.
For Sporting with their better form, they have looked poor away with just two points from 18 on the road.
- Betting Tips
Given their recent forms, a bet on a draw could be a prudent choice as both teams had their fair share of poor runs lately.
With that said, betting on a game with less than 2.5 goals could be another interesting if not wise option.
- Prediction
Rangers and Sporting Lagos do not inspire much confidence at the moment given their recent runs. But these two have the quality to score, but I don’t foresee a high-scoring fixture this Sunday.
Remember to bet responsibly as predictions are not guarantees of outcomes - they are just predictions. Catch the game live on the NPFL streaming website, powered by Propel.
