After fourteen tries on the road, the Mohamed Babaganaru men picked up their first win. Akwa United benefited from their opponent who were reduced to ten men in the twenty fourth minute, as they scored twice to cart away the maximum possible points against Kwara United. This was after their comfortable (2-0) victory over Shooting Stars on their home turf. 

The Uyo-based side have been phenomenal in recent weeks after starting their season poorly. Akwa United are now two points below the relegation zone, and a win here will see them leapfrog Nasarawa United on the log. 

Akwa United have won eight, drawn five and lost twelve at home this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Their last ten meetings have seen the Ikon Allah Boys with four wins, while Akwa United have recorded six victories. Akwa United are gradually building momentum in their attempt to survive relegation this campaign, as they have now gone five games without a defeat. Looking at their fixtures, this isn’t a fluke at all, and they’ll be keen to secure all the points on their ground tomorrow.

Niger Tornadoes will also be keen to avoid back to back losses in the league which will make it difficult for the hosts on their ground.

I expect Akwa United to start well so as to gain dominance over their stubborn guests tomorrow; bet on home to score before the break for 1.70 at (1xbet).

Akwa United might actually win and score more than a goal here for 1.65 at (Betway).
