Akwa United vs Abia Warriors Prediction: Akwa United will not be stopped

At Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Akwa United will play host to Abia Warriors in NPFL round 2 encounters. The home team comes in as the favorite in this encounter. Can the visiting team turn the tables?

Akwa United opened their season with a point shared at Aper Aku Stadium against Lobi Stars. In that game, Akwa United had 41 percent of the possession and attempted nine shots, with two unconvertible shots on target. In the meantime, a look at this team's run of games into the new season saw them win two, coming against Rivers United and Katsina United. They lost to Sunshine Stars and Abia Warriors but were on the road. 

Abia Warriors won the last fixture of this game and will hope to recreate that feat. In the meantime, their league opener against Remo Stars the previous weekend ended in a defeat. Abia Warriors had 61 percent of the possession in that encounter, creating four clear chances they failed to convert. Heading into this game, Abia Warriors have a winless record of three games, losing to El Kanemi Warriors while being held to a 1-1 draw by Doma United. 

With a strong opener result, Akwa United looks very set for this game. While the Abia Warriors did not look sharp offensively in their opening game against the Remo Stars, I do not see them as a problem for Akwa United. Take the home team to win with goals here, with a win at halftime being a good option, too.
