Enyimba - Gombe United FC predictions and free betting tips [28/02/2024]

Today, in the framework of the Nigerian Premier League, the last season's champions Enyimba will play against Gombe.

Enyimba

Enyimba, the champions of last season's Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), currently occupies the 4th place. The team has struggled to climb to leading positions and is only 3 points behind the leader, Lobi Stars. After a shaky start to the season, Enyimba gradually began to improve their gameplay, but the results are still far from perfect. In the last five matches, Enyimba has won 3 times and suffered 2 defeats, with all losses occurring in away matches.

Detailing Enyimba's recent games: a draw against Bendel 0:0, victory over Shooting Stars 1:0, defeat by Rivers United 0:2, success in the game with Shooting Stars 2:1, and a defeat against Katsina United 1:2. The majority of this season's setbacks came in away matches, highlighting the team's difficulties in games away from home.

Gombe

Gombe, in this season of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), is in the 17th position in the relegation zone, with 24 points after 21 matches. The recent victory over Sporting Lagos with a score of 2:0 allowed the team to jump up two places higher in the table, which is particularly important given the high density in the table where four other NPFL teams have the same number of points.

Gombe's statistics in away matches are disappointing, with 10 defeats and one draw in the last 12 league matches. At the same time, at home, the team shows better results, securing victories against relegation zone opponents.

Reviewing Gombe's latest matches: on 25 February, Gombe secured a victory over Sporting Lagos with a score of 2:0. On 18 February, the team suffered a defeat against Bayelsa United with a score of 0:2. On 21 January, it played a draw with Bayelsa United 1:1. On 13 January, lost to Enugu 1:4. On 7 January, played a draw with Rivers United 1:1. These results emphasize the team's challenges in away matches and the importance of home games in their fight for survival in the league.

Head-to-head

In the last five encounters between Gombe and Enyimba, the results show a clear advantage for Enyimba. The home team has won 3 times against Gombe, including significant victories with scores of 5:0 and 3:0, demonstrating their dominance and attacking prowess. However, Gombe has also managed to surprise by winning the latest match with a score of 2:0, showing the team's capability to achieve results on their home ground.

Prediction for the match Enyimba - Gombe

The visitors have 10 defeats and 1 draw in the last 12 away matches, which is a common situation in the Nigerian league. I expect that the last season's champions will easily beat Gombe by at least 2 goals and will continue their fight for the top-3 of the championship.
