Kano Pillars vs Wikki Tourist Fixture Preview
The previous duels between Kano Pillars and Wikki Tourists were a testament to a fact that this is always a difficult match. However, recent form speaks otherwise, especially if we compare the home run of Kano Pillars against the away run of Wikki Tourist.
The hosts won three and drew two of their last five home matches. In those outings, Kano Pillars failed to score in two games that ended in barren draws. Three clean sheets in the last five home games are enough to motivate the hosts. However, Kano Pillars failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two home games even though they won both.
On the other hand, Wikki Tourist won one and suffered four defeats in the last five away games. The highlight of Wikki’s run in the last five trips is that the visitors scored in three of those games. That underscores our first prediction for this game that both teams are likely to find the net on matchday.
Most importantly, Wikki Tourist only failed to score in two of the last seven meetings with Kano Pillars. With that, our prediction that both sides will likely score gets another backing, especially because Kano Pillars have home support in this duel.
