The Nigerian system of football believe too much in foreign based players even if you are based in the bench abroad they will invite you.
These foreign based players don't have passion.
I rarely watch supereagles because they will always disappoint you.
Our goalkeeping department is worse but they keep on inviting uzohor who is warming bench in Cyprus and I heard they invited fine boy okoye also another bench warmer.

Predictions – NPFL fixtures match day 5


It’s another weekend, and exciting football action is on the domestic scene. What do the NPFL fixtures have for us?

There are nine matches on the cards in the NPFL this weekend, and thankfully, the league has spared us the blushes of seeing another embarrassing Enyimba performance.

So what are the must-see games in match day five of the NPFL?

We highlight a few NPFL fixtures that should be intriguing enough to catch your fancy.

NPFL Fixtures – The must-see games
Insurance seeks a third home win this term

Bendel Insurance vs Akwa United
Before last weekend's games, the Benin Arsenal were top of the log with two wins from two matches. However, the Monday Odigie-led side fell 1-0 to Gombe United.

They host bottom-of-the-log side Akwa United. The Promise Keepers may be bottom of the table, but they’re an exciting side and know how to serve excitement.

They opened their season with a 5-3 loss to Bayelsa United. Despite their form, only four teams have scored more goals than Akwa United, and three occupy the top three spots.

Insurance will have their hands full against the Uyo-based side. If you can't watch the game, don't worry. Propel Sports has got you covered as they will stream it via the NPFL Live app.

Prediction: Bendel Insurance have not been scoring many goals this season. Perhaps it's the effect of losing their top scorer, Imade Osarenkhoe.

They have scored three goals, with one being an own goal. They have found a way of limiting opposing strikers and have not conceded more than one goal this term.

1. Both sides to score.
2. Over 2.5 odds.
3. Bendel Insurance to win – 2-1.

Can Pillars hold firm against the high-flying Antelopes?

The NPFL fixtures match day five has served one of the most exciting ties of the season. Enugu Rangers host one of their traditional rivals – Kano Pillars, in Awka this weekend.

Enugu Rangers have been flying high this term with two wins, one draw and a loss. The intriguing fact is that they have scored in every game they played, irrespective of the venue.

Kano Pillars have to be at their optimum against the Flying Antelopes, who are making a solid case to become league winners again.

Sai Masu Gida is currently ninth on the log with two wins and two losses from two 1-0 wins and losses. The Northern giants have not scored on the road this season, and it is challenging to see how they will curtail the Flying Antelopes in their backyard.

Prediction: Enugu Rangers have scored in all the games they have played. Expect the Flying Antelopes to hit the target again at home.

1. Under 2.5 odds.
2. Enugu Rangers to keep a clean sheet.
3. Enugu Rangers to win 2-0.

Abia Warriors vs Heartland Owerri
npfl fixtures lobi stars vs abia warriors - who wins?
Credit @AbiaWarriors Twitter
Following their 1-0 win over Kano Pillars, Abia Warriors capitulated the following week to Lobi Stars 2-0. They have a solid home form with two wins, but they are up against a side desperate for wins.

Heartland FC are 17th on the log, three points behind the Ochendo Babes. Their manager, Christian Obi, has been given a two-game ultimatum to turn things around or get the boot.

Curiously, Heartland has lost just one game, with three draws. A win would take them level on points with Abia Warriors, but can they manage it? Can they keep a clean sheet?

Heartland Warriors have conceded in every game they have played this season. The trend should continue.

Prediction: Abia Warriors have scored in the two home games played. They will have to keep an eye on Patrick Nwogbaga. The forward has two goals already this season.

1. Both sides to score.
2. Heartland to score first.
3. The game ended in a draw.

— ADEPOJU TOBI SAMUEL 🇳🇬 (@OGANLAMEDIA) OCTOBER 27, 2023

Due to their continental assignment, Enyimba will not be in action this weekend. Their match against Remo Stars in Aba has been postponed.

The People’s Elephant served another embarrassment in Morocco as they lost 3-0 (4-0 aggregate) to crash out of the African Football League.

Now, the Aba warlords can concentrate on the domestic scene, as their foray into the continent this season is akin to a man with erectile dysfunction – they can’t get it up, and when they do, they can’t keep it up.

Lobi Stars are perhaps the most exciting club presently in the NPFL. The NPFL fixtures match day five has drawn them against Rivers United.

Lobi Stars are the only unbeaten side in the NPFL this season. They have not been defensively resolute (they managed two clean sheets) but with a knack for scoring. Like Enugu Rangers, they have scored in every game they played this term.

Rivers United are struggling for form and goals, with four points from as many games. It is not the kind of form the Confederation Cup campaigners need.

Two weeks ago, they drew at home to Kwara United and lost to a last-gasp Rabiu Ali goal last weekend. It feels like they’re up a creek without a paddle.

Prediction: Where will the goals come for Rivers United? The only two goals they scored this term came in a lacklustre 2-0 win over Remo Stars.

If they serve the kind of performance we saw last week, expect Lobi Stars to get their first away win this season.

Rivers United need to get their acts together. The Pride of Rivers are not exciting to watch but are mean defensively, as shown by the two goals they have conceded this season.

Only Bendel Insurance has conceded fewer goals than them.

1. Under 2.5 odds.
2. It is hard to call a winner, but this looks like a draw.
3. At least one side to keep a clean sheet.

— SPORTING LAGOS (@SPORTINGLAGOS) OCTOBER 27, 2023

Sporting Lagos vs Niger Tornadoes
The Mobolaji Johnson Arena is one of the most alluring arenas on the local scene. The Lagos side has made their games a fiesta. Lovely ambience mixed with good football.

If you are in Lagos, take a trip to the Onikan Water Front to see them host Niger Tornadoes – you won’t be disappointed.

Sporting Lagos started the season brightly. The newly promoted side came into the league with an unseen spark, but the loss to Remo Stars last week seems to have put a dampener on things.

However, they have what it takes to give any team a run for their money. Niger Tornadoes are about to find out, why the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium is one of the most interesting in the country.

Prediction: Sporting Lagos has a fine blend of youth and experience. They will count on it against Tornadoes.

1. Sporting Lagos to score first.
2. Under 2.5 odds.
3. Sporting Lagos to win – 2-0.

Other NPFL Fixtures on Matchday five
Gombe United vs Plateau United

Gombe and Plateau United have identical records. They have both won two games and lost two. Is it curious that their losses have come on the road?

While Gombe is ahead of Plateau United on the log, thanks to scoring more goals, nothing else separates these two sides.

The two sides can be resilient and dogged, but that quality will be tested on Sunday.

Prediction: Gombe United to win 1-0.

Bayelsa United vs Kwara United
Another interesting tie in the NPFL Fixtures week 5 is between Kwara United and Bayelsa United.

Kwara United have had a tepid start to the season, but their only loss came in the opening weekend of the season – a 1-0 loss away to Katsina United.

The Harmony Boys are back in the South-South after they recorded an impressive 0-0 draw away to Rivers United two weeks ago.

They could not build on that as they drew at home to Enugu Rangers. They will find a Bayelsa United side that is hurt.

Since their impressive opening day 5-3 win over Akwa United, Bayelsa United have slipped to a losing spree. They lost their next three games. Perhaps, if they don’t win against Kwara United, the coach will get the famous ultimatum.

Prediction: Bayelsa United to win – 1-0.

Shooting Stars vs Doma United
npfl fixtures Bendel Insurance vs Shooting stars the oluyole warriors already have three points
Credit @ShootingSc Twitter
Shooting Stars seem to be saying to their fans that they would not battle relegation this season. The Ibadan-based side has been formidable this term at home, and expect nothing less again.

Though their opponents are a youthful and enterprising side, the Oluyole Warriors will bank on their home form to see them through. They are yet to lose at home and have only one loss this season.

They lost 2-0 away to Bendel Insurance, but Doma United will find them a massive challenge.

Prediction: Shooting Stars to win 2-1.

Katsina United vs Sunshine Stars
Perhaps when heading to Katsina for the te against Katsina United, Sunshine Stars would be asking – are we there yet?

The NPFL fixtures matchday five sees Sunshine Stars travel to Katsina. The trip to the border state will be strenuous for the Akure side, and it might take its toll on Sunshine Stars.

Few sides have come from the south to pick a result at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium. It is a mini fortress for the Changi Boys.

Prediction: Katsina United to win.

NPFL: Rivers United end Lobi Stars’ unbeaten streak

Rivers United halted Lobi Stars unbeaten run in the Nigeria Premier League this season, edging out the visitors 1-0 at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt.


Alex Oyowah scored the decisive goal three minutes before the break.

In Ibadan, Shooting Stars continued their impressive form, handing Doma United a 3-1 defeat.


Nelson Abiam silenced the home fans when he gave Doma United the lead in the ninth minute.

Gbologade Adelowo restored parity for Shooting Stars from the penalty spot late in the first half.

Kareem Ayinde and Gideon Monday scored the other goals for the home team.


In the Oriental derby, Abia Warriors defeated Heartland 1-0, with Meme Okike scoring the decisive goal in the eighth minute.

NPFL Super Sunday: 3 MUST-WATCH matches and predictions in Nigeria's Football League
Bendel Insurance vs Remo Stars heralds an action-packed Sunday.



Eight matches will be played in the NPFL this Super Sunday, with all eyes and attention in Benin for the biggest of the matches.

The excitement is palpable as the NPFL prepares for another action-packed round of matches in the Premier Football League.

Matchday seven promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with eight matches scheduled across the country this Super Sunday.


Here are the top three must-watch matches to keep an eye on and their predictions.

Bendel Insurance vs Remo Stars: Clash of the Titans

In what is arguably the marquee game of this matchday, Bendel Insurance host Remo Stars in Benin City, Edo State.

Insurance currently sits in 13th position on the table after four matches and will be eager to improve their standing against the league leaders, Remo, at home.

The Sky Blues are in superb form, having secured 12 points from a possible 15 so far in the league, including two remarkable derby wins.

This fixture promises to be a challenging contest, with both teams set to be tested. But the home side will go into this one as a slight favourite, given their head-to-head advantage at home.


Benin Arsenal have won one and drawn the other in the last two meetings between them, with that victory a 3-0 thrashing that Remo would love to avenge.

Prediction: Bendel Insurance 1-1 Remo Stars
Rangers Int’l vs Heartland: Oriental Derby

Rangers International welcome newly promoted Heartland of Owerri to the heart of Akwa. This encounter is a highly anticipated and respected derby known as the Oriental Derby in the eastern region.

The Flying Antelopes, Rangers, are determined to bounce back to winning ways after a recent 2-1 defeat to Lobi Stars. Fidelis Ilechukwu and his boys will be motivated to rectify mistakes from that game against Heartland, who are bottom of the table.


)
Rangers are favourites for this one and should not have a problem dispatching their neighbours in Akwa.

Prediction: Rangers 2-0 Heartland
Akwa United vs Plateau United:
Battle of the United

Akwa United, currently in need of more wins, face Plateau United in the picturesque city of Eket, Akwa Ibom State.

Akwa will host Plateau looking to build on their first win of the season which they secured on the previous matchday.


The Promise Keepers relocated their home ground from Uyo to Eket after a string of poor results in the initial first five matches. This move paid off as they secured the first win of the season with a hard-fought win over Gombe United.

Akwa will aim to consolidate against seventh-placed Plateau, who have struggled on the road this campaign, losing all three of their away matches so far.
