Match description
Plateau United are the favorites in this match: at home they win 72% of games, score on average 1.56 goals and concede only 0.56 goals per match, with 56% of home fixtures ending in a clean sheet. Kano Pillars have very poor away numbers – they have won just 6% of away matches, lose 78%, score on average 0.5 goals per match and in 56% of away games fail to find the net. The difference in chance creation is clear: Plateau average 13.18 shots and 4.65 on target at home with xG 1.66, while Kano away average 7.67 shots, 2 on target and xG 1.05. Short-term trends, however, favor Kano – the visitors have 3 wins in their last 5 matches, 8 goals scored and 1.8 points per game in that period, whereas Plateau in their last 5 have only 1 win, 5 goals scored and 0.8 points per game. Considering Plateau’s dominant home defense (0.56 goals conceded and 56% clean sheets) and Pillars’ awful away stats (0.5 goals and 6% wins), I tip the hosts to win; suggested probability split is 65% for Plateau, 20% for a draw and 15% for Kano.
