BetGenius backs Enyimba or Draw (Double Chance) at 78% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Enyimba return to Aba for their first home match of the NPFL campaign looking to respond after an opening-round 2-1 away defeat against Niger Tornadoes. The hosts have traditionally relied on strong home form in league action, winning their last two home games of the previous season against El Kanemi Warriors and Gombe United.
Shooting Stars arrive with momentum following a 2-1 victory over Inter Lagos on matchday one. However, the Ibadan side face a significant historical challenge on the road in this fixture, having failed to record a victory in their last five visits to Enyimba across all recent head-to-head encounters.
Head-to-head meetings between these sides have historically been tight and low-scoring affairs, averaging 1.7 goals per match with only 20 percent seeing both teams score. Enyimba's dominant record on home soil against Shooting Stars gives them a solid foundation heading into this clash.
