Dakkada vs Shooting Stars: Free Tips by Football Whispers
While Dakkada FC suffered four defeats in their last five games, Shooting Stars were defeated twice in their last five assignments. This will be the second ever meeting between the Nigeria Professional Football Teams, so expect some tension on matchday as Dakkada hosts Shooting Stars for the first time and hoping to overturn a narrow 1-nil defeat in the first leg. The following are the free predictions for this game by Football Whispers:
Dakkada will be the first to concede a goal
Dakkada FC is the last team on the NPFL table with 30 points after 29 games, translating to an average of 0.966 points per match. On the flip-side, Shooting Stars are 11th with 39 points in 31 games, translating to an average of 1.3 points per match. These stats signify the possibility of having no winner in this game as both have struggled to win matches. We expect the visitors to score the first goal because they have done better in recent games than Dakkada FC.
Shooting Stars bagged two draws and lost once in their last three games while Dakkada suffered defeats in their last three games. The hosts lost those games due to a defensive problem that has cost them five of their last six games while Shooting Stars lost only twice in the last six.
Under 2.5 goals
Looking at the way these teams have performed lately, there is a problem with scoring goals on both sides. We expect fewer than three goals at full-time just like it was in the reverse meeting. The reverse encounter and which is the only previous one between these teams had a scoreline of 1-0 in favour of Shooting Stars.

Dakkada vs Shooting Stars Game Preview and Analysis
With only one previous encounter between Dakkada FC and Shooting Stars, this promises to be the mother of all battles this weekend. Only a single goal was scored in the reverse game, so we don’t expect a high scoreline in this second meeting. It is partly because Dakkada will look to avenge the narrow loss with home support while Shooting Stars come to defend the previous win or at least get a point in this trip.
However, Dakkada have more reason to worry after losing thrice in a row. They must fight to end the poor run or risk getting grounded at the bottom of the NPFL table. For Shooting Stars, finishing higher up the table even is top three ambitions become increasingly elusive.
