Nasarawa vs Katsina Utd tips and predictions

Nasarawa are so tough to beat

With 9 points Nasarawa host Katsina Utd, on 7 points. There's just 4 places between these two.

Katsina Utd don't look likely to pose much of a threat here but the home win price is only for fans with deep pockets. It's hard to approve of the short price but there's nothing in the away price to get stuck in to either.

In looking for evidence that Nasarawa will romp through this match as expected, it's worth alluding to the respective results of the two sides. The hosts have reached 17 home wins from their last 19 games. With less success as you'd expect, the travelling side has suffered reverses in 17 of their recent 20 matches on the road. They should prepare themselves for defeat again here.

The hosts have enjoyed some form on their own patch. Nasarawa have scored two or more goals in 13 of their recent 16 home matches.

Katsina Utd have only scored 4 goals in their last 20 away games. This could all prove irrelevant however; they'll need to improve their finishing if they are to turn things around. They will be facing huge odds whatever team they line up with.

In their last home game Nasarawa had a 2-1 win against Lobi Stars.

No one will be surprised if one of these sides tries to park the bus due to the dominance of Nasarawa. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the Yes BTTS bet could be a fun side bet.
