Finidi George's side have been unbeaten in their last six games, with four wins and two draws. However, they square off against a Remo Stars side that's been a tough nut to crack for the Enyimba side in recent times. The tactician will hope his team gets one over the Ikenne club as their battle gets underway.

Remo Stars

Remo Stars are coming into this encounter after three straight wins. Daniel Ogunmodede's side has been unbeaten in their last nine matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding five.

1st Prediction: Both Teams to Score

Enyimba and Remo Stars have been involved in matches where both teams have scored in two of their last four meetings. Enyimba's last eight NPFL matches have also seen both teams scoring in five out of eight NPFL fixtures. Similarly, in Remo Stars' previous eight games, both teams scored on five occasions. As a result, we're confident this matchup will result in both sides scoring against each other.

2nd Prediction: Draw

While we expect a result when both teams meet, we feel this match could end in a draw, as a lot is at stake. The last meeting between these two sides ended in stalemates, and we think this NPFL Super Six game could also end in a draw. Both teams have played four draws in their respective nine NPFL matches ahead of this encounter.

3rd Prediction: A Goal in the First Half

Our last prediction for this match is that either team will score in the first period. Interestingly, both sides have been involved in games that produced a goal in the first half in five of their last six individual games. Furthermore, the previous two games between them have seen a goal in the first half.
