General match analysis
Plateau United have won all 3 of their home matches to date, scoring an average of 2 goals and conceding just 0.33 per game. The hosts create chances worth an average of 1.91 xG and register 6 shots on target per match, while Kano Pillars average 2 shots on target away from home. The visitors remain unbeaten this season and have recorded 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5 matches, so their consistency should not be underestimated. However, both of Kano Pillars’ away matches so far have ended in draws; they conceded an average of 1.5 goals in those games and have yet to keep a clean sheet. The hosts’ edge in chance quality and defensive solidity at home points to a win for them, although the visitors’ run of draws leaves a significant possibility of the points being shared.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS occurred in 75% of Plateau United’s matches and 100% of Kano Pillars’ matches, while the figures across their last five games were 60% and 80%, respectively. The hosts score an average of 2.0 goals, while the visitors concede 1.5, giving Plateau a solid foundation to find the net. Kano Pillars score an average of 1.5 goals, and Plateau concede 1.0; moreover, the hosts have kept a clean sheet in only 25% of their matches. Caution is warranted, however, as the visitors average just 2.0 shots on target and the league BTTS rate is 46%. Even so, the overall data points towards both teams scoring.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Plateau United score an average of 2.0 goals at home, while Kano Pillars concede 1.5 goals away, giving the hosts a solid platform to find the net. Matches involving the two teams average 3.0 goals, and the Over 1.5 goals line has landed in 75% and 100% of their matches, respectively. However, each team’s last five matches have averaged 2.8 goals, with Over 2.5 goals landing in just 40% of matches for both sides, so the higher line is not as strongly supported. With a forecast of 1.70 goals for the hosts and 1.05 for the visitors, Over 1.5 goals in the match is the strongest pick.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal points to Kano Pillars leading at the break: the visitors were ahead at half-time in both matches included in the season statistics, and did so three times in their last five matches. However, they drew both of those season matches, so their strong first halves did not translate into wins. After the break, Kano averaged no goals scored and conceded 1.5, while Plateau United averaged 1.0 goal in second halves. The 2/X scenario is also supported by the hosts’ record in their last five matches: they were trailing at half-time three times, but scored an average of 1.4 goals after the break. The sample of two matches for the visitors is small, so this outcome has only a slight edge over options ending in a Plateau win.
