Remo Stars host Enyimba at home in Nigeria's Premier League.
The home side, after 23 games played, sits 5th in Nigeria's championship table. They've accrued 39 points: 12 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses. In these matches, the total goals scored is 29, with 22 conceded. Remo Stars, following an unsuccessful streak of two defeats in their last five matches, relinquished their league lead after a brief period at the top. Remo lost 1:4 to outsider Sporting Lagos 1-4 in their last match.Nevertheless, a recent 1:0 victory against Bayelsa United helped the team to narrow the gap to the league leader, Lobby Stars, to three points, with a tally of 39 points after 23 rounds. Remo Stars' recent performances have been mixed: a victory over Bayelsa United on 1st March, a 0-1 defeat to Enugu on 28th February, a goalless draw with Abia Warriors on 18th February, a 2-1 win over Abia Warriors on 21st January, and a 0-2 loss to Katsina United on 15th January. Currently, Remo Stars boasts 12 wins, 3 draws, 7 losses, and a goal differential of 28:18, totalling 39 points. In the last round, the team suffered a loss. The club's results in the last 5 championship matches are as follows: 2 victories, 1 draw, 2 losses.
Enyimba, as the champion of the previous season of the Nigerian Professional Football League, currently occupies the 2th position, indicating certain difficulties for the team. They are 1 point behind the league leader, Lobi Stars. The start of the season was challenging for Enyimba, but over time, the team managed to partially rectify their gameplay. However, the achieved results are still far from the high standards set in previous seasons.
In the last five matches, Enyimba secured 3 victories but also suffered 1 defeat in away match, highlighting the team's problems in games away from home. One of the most disappointing moments was the defeat against the relegation zone team, Aqua, with a score of 1:3, which occurred on 4 March. This match was a real debacle for Enyimba, considering the status of the opponent.
However, in other games, Enyimba showed a stronger side, confidently defeating Gombe with a score of 4:0 on 29 February and Doma United in the last match 1:0. Additionally, the team managed to draw with Bendel 0:0 on 24 February and beat Shooting Stars 1:0 on 17 February, indicating Enyimba's capability to deliver quality gameplay. The defeat against Rivers United with a score of 0:2 on 30 January reminds of the team's inconsistency in performance. The visitors, after 24 matches in the Nigerian championship, rest comfortably in 2nd place in the league table. They've accumulated 42 points: 13 victories, 3 draws, 8 defeats. In these matches, the total goals scored is 26, with 20 conceded. Remo Stars
In their last five encounters, home side claimed 3 victories, and two meetings ended in a draw.
We'll continue our experiment. The arguments remain pretty much the same as in previous matches. The visitors are higher in the table and in better form. The head-to-head record is with the home side, but a draw is achievable for the visitors. I'll test this emerging trend with a small bank, almost symbolic. My bet is on a handicap draw for the away team.
