At 15:00 the 34th round of the Nigerian Premier League among elite division teams kicks off. Fans of exotic football will witness a clash between Doma United and Lobi Stars.
Doma United have participated in 34 official matches of the Nigerian Championship. They have played 33 matches and earned 40 points, which places them 17th in the league table. The 2023-2024 season has not been the best for Doma, reflecting their position in the league. With only a few rounds left until the end of the season, Doma United is among those at risk of relegation. Only Baelsa United, Heartland, and Gombe have performed worse.
Their risk of dropping out of the elite division did not arise without reason. In the last 10 matches, Dome United has only managed one victory, defeating Aqua. Currently, they are on a five-match winless streak, managing to earn a point each in their games against Kwara and Remo Stars.
Lobi Stars have played 34 official matches in the Nigerian Premier League. They have amassed 52 points from these matches, which allows them to occupy the 5th place in the league table and compete for medals. The 5th place is an excellent result for Lobi Stars, given the current level of competition in the Nigerian Championship. Lobi Stars are currently 8 points behind the leaders from Enugu.
Lobi Stars are no longer contenders for the championship, but climbing into the top-3 is still possible. With 5 rounds to go, Lobi Stars are 4 points behind Remo Stars, who currently close the top three. In their recent matches, Lobi Stars have been underperforming, failing to secure a win in the last four encounters.
Dome United and Lobi Stars have faced each other in three official matches. Lobi Stars have won twice, while Dome United came out on top in one encounter. In their last face-to-face match, Lobi Stars won 2-0.
The total number of goals in the match is expected to be over 2. In each of their direct confrontations, Lobi Stars and Dome United scored 2 or more goals.
Doma United is expected to win. Although their league position is not the highest, the advantage of a home game and the motivation to escape the relegation zone should influence the hosts' morale. For Lobi Stars, the main objectives have already been achieved.
