Heartland FC vs Katsina United: The home team can't afford to lose three consecutive matches

Heartland FC will host Katsina United at the Dan Anyiam Stadium on Sunday. The guests have failed to keep a clean sheet against Heartland Owerri in seven consecutive games and must tighten up to avoid conceding here. Can the visitors get their first away win in 2024?

The Nazi Millionaire have picked up from where they stopped last season, losing back-to-back games already. More recently, they surrendered to a (3-1) defeat on the road. They have conceded six in just two starts and no team have let in more goals than them this campaign. 

Heartland Owerri finished their campaign in 19th place last season but returned to the league after securing the Beyond Limits spot. The league management ruled that Beyond Limits won’t be able to compete with its parent club in the same division. 

Their problem last season was winning away from home, as they had only acquired four points during the previous nineteen away games.

Amuneke's men will be keen to do better this time, having signed some decent players during the transfer window. 

The visitors also recorded a narrow win against Bendel Insurance on match-day 2. Katsina United scored a last-minute goal to secure their first victory of the season after conceding first. They are not good enough playing away from home, as they earned just two points from a possible forty-eight in recent games. 

Winning on the road is never their thing, as they have lost fourteen and drawn twice in the previous sixteen away games.

In the last nine meetings between both teams, Katsina United have won twice, while Heartland FC have won three with a share of the spoils in four encounters.

Heartland FC have everything to play for in this encounter, and a loss here could be a game over for the coach; I believe they will get the win here; bet on a home win for 1.75.

It's an open game, and we expect goals here; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 2.10.

A correct score of 2-1 for 8.00 might surface here.

Good luck!
