To improve our coverage of the Nigeria Professional Football League and fans’ interest in this blog we are creating this new segment where we will have football writer, Fisayo Dairo run the rule on how the league games will go on every match day.
Save his predictions and we will see how he fares by Sunday night
1. @DolphinsFC vs @KwaraUnitedFC. Dolphins' slight advantage in preparation should count and I go for a 2-1 win for the hosts. #GloNPFL
2. Sharks vs @SunshineFCAkure. I'm 100% backing Sunshine to get something out of the game but I go for an away win. 1-2 #OctopusFiscosports
3. @Enyimba FC vs Akwa Utd. There shouldn't be a happy return to Aba for Akwa gaffer Zachary Baraje. I go for an emphatic home win. 3-0
4. Ifeanyi Uba FC vs Warri Wolves. The locals in Nnewi should enjoy the visitors who I respect a lot. Though in the absence of Aigbogun, I still back them for a 1-1 draw.
5. Bayelsa Utd vs @LobiStars. Ebimobowei scored a hattrick in this game last term. He's no longer here but I go for a 2-1 home win. #GloNPFL
6. FC Taraba vs @enugurangersfc. This one also has DRAW written all over it. I call it 0-0. #OctopusFiscosports
7. El-Kanemi vs Nasarawa Utd. I'm also backing Utd to get something out of it because they've been in Kano for over a week now. 1-1
8. Wikki Tourists vs 3SC. Shooting normally starts on a high but I don't expect Abdu Maikaba's boys to drop points at home this early. 1-0
9. Giwa FC vs Abia Warriors. Both teams go head to head in their 2nd season in the top flight. I back the hosts to edge it 2-1. #OctopusFiscosports
