Heartland vs Lobi Stars: Free Match Predictions
At position 19 with 37 points, Heartland Owerri must do all it takes to win this game or prolong their fight for survival. The hosts need a win to go above the red zone but the question is will they do it against Katsina United? Here are the best two predictions for the NPFL match:
Under 2.5 goals
While Heartland is struggling at home, Katsina isn’t having it easy on the road. With that, we expect both teams to struggle in this game. There have been five encounters between Heartland Owerri and Katsina United during which four meetings had fewer than three goals. We also another low scoring match in this sixth meeting.
Heartland to score first
Heartland is our pick to find the net first. They must do all it takes to go above the red zone after this game or at least reduce the gap to safety. While the hosts have the 3rd worst home run, they have won 10 games, drawn four and lost just two in 16 home fixtures. The home run compared to Katsina’s away run of zero victories, two draws and 14 losses on the road is why we expect home team to be the first to score.

Heartland vs Katsina United NPFL Game Preview
Heartland Owerri is 18th on the Nigeria Professional Football table. The hosts have ten victories and four draws in 16 home games. Two losses from 16 games, it appears, haven’t been fair enough on the host given their low ranking on home performance. Notably, Heartland Owerri has found the net 18 times in the 16 home games, which means they average slight above a goa in every home game. Therefore, it makes sense to back them to score at least a goal in this home encounter.
On the flip-side, Katsina is 6th on the NPFL table. The visitors have the second worst away run after failing to win any game away from home. Katsina has drawn twice and lost a total of 14 matches away from home. With only 5 goals scored and 15 leaked in 16 trips, a poor scoring record and a terrible defending run on the road is another reason to believe the visitors will likely concede the first goal in this game. The reverse game was a fair outcome of 1-1.
