Dakkada vs Akwa United Free Match Tips and Predictions
The hosts currently sit 18th and need two points to go above the relegation zone. That means Dakkada FC must either win this game or lose their chance of survival yet again. We looked at the stats, H2H information, and team news to bring our readers the best free predictions for this game as follows:
Draw will be the outcome
A draw is a very likely outcome in this game. The hosts are ranked 16 on home run. Dakkada FC has won 11 games, drawn twice and lost thrice at home. On the other hand, Akwa United has done fairly well away from home, considering how the NPFL teams have been performing on the road. The visitors have the 5th best away record. However, 6 draw, 2 wins and 8 losses away record for away is why we feel the best the visitors can get in this game is a draw.
Under 2.5 goals
We also don’t anticipate many goals in this fixture. Dakkada FC couldn’t do much in the last meeting with Akwa that ended 3-2 in favour Akwa. It was the highest scoring encounter between these teams. Four of the previous six meetings didn’t have more than two goals. The visitors have a stronger defence but poor scoring record. We expect a more defensive approach from Akwa if they are to get anything from this match.

Dakkada vs Akwa Game Preview and Analysis
Two wins, one draw and two losses in the last five games is all Dakkada have to show for their recent run. The hosts have, however, shown signs of improvement after going unbeaten in the last three games. However, only one clean sheet for Dakkada FC in the last six should be a cause for worry. The hosts leaked 7 goals in the last seven. During that time, Dakkada FC scored 8 goals. They have never scored more than two goals in a goal in the last five games. More of the goals scored by the hosts of the 8 in the last five were in their last three games. Six goals in the last three mean Dakkada is ready to get some points after some improvements in their offensive play
Notably, Dakkada FC will not only be fighting to get survival points but also end Akwa’s domination of this match. In five meetings, Akwa won three and drawn the other two. So, the visitors have a record to defend in this trip.
