Enyimba vs Akwa United
Wednesday, January 18, 16:00 (GMT+1)
Betting tip: Enyimba to win
Odds: 1.70 on Bet9ja
Enyimba began their season with a 2-1 away win at Nasarawa United over the weekend. The People’s Elephant will play their first game on home soil when they host Akwa United. Akwa United had a poor season opener, as they lost 2-0 at home to newly-promoted Bendel Insurance.
Enyimba has dominated their home fixtures against Akwa, picking up five victories in the last eight at the Aba Township Stadium. The two-time CAF Champions League winners will be too strong for Akwa United on home soil.
Dakkada International FC vs Wikki Tourist
Wednesday, January 18, 16:00 (GMT+1)
Betting tip: Dakkada to win
Odds: 1.38 on Bet9ja
Dakkada FC had a strong end to last season’s league campaign, winning three consecutive games. The Uyo-based side have also started well in the new season, as they picked up a 1-1 draw away at Bayelsa United.
Wikki Tourist has dominated this fixture, having won the last three, however, their form has been inconsistent in recent times. The Bauchi side lost their season opener against Niger Tornadoes [2-0], and have lost six of their last seven away games in NPFL, dating back to last season.
