Plateau United vs Niger Tornadoes Prediction: Home team expected to dominate

Jos International Stadium will be the venue for the NPFL round 33 encounter between Plateau United and Niger Tornadoes. Both teams are coming off defeats in recent times. How will this one end?

Plateau United will look for positivity following a defeat at the hands of Sunshine Stars in the Federation Cup. However, their last league game also ended in a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Enugu Rangers. Despite this, their games against Remo Stars and Doma United in their last five ended with 1-0 and 4-0 wins, while one of their encounters against Rivers United ended in a defeat. This season, Plateau United have accumulated just 50 points from 32 matches, positioning them 6th in the standings.

Niger Tornadoes last game was against Rivers United in the Federation Cup. In the meantime, the visiting team has lost three consecutive matches, two others coming against the Remo Stars and Rivers United, ending 3-0 and 3-2. This season, Niger Tornadoes have accumulated 42 points from 32 matches, positioning them 12th in the NPFL standings.

Plateau United will eye CAF competition for next season, and a win is vital in this match to push them to the spots. However, while Niger Tornadoes have struggled lately, I think they will struggle here also. Therefore, while Plateau United are well favored, I will also take them here to win each half of this game.
