Niger Tornadoes vs Nasarawa United Free Picks
A narrow defeat of 1-0 in the reverse meeting is all Nasarawa have to boast of ahead of this trip. However, it remains to be seen if the visitors can defeat Niger Tornadoes for the second time this season, especially after suffering five consecutive losses in the last five away games. Our best two predictions for this NPFL match are:
Nigeria Tornadoes to win the match
There has never been a draw in this duel. And in 6 previous meetings, both teams bagged three wins, all of which were on home soil. Nasarawa’s poor away run could be costly for them. Moreover, the fact that the Tornadoes bagged five wins from the last five home games is reason enough to predict home win for the Tornadoes.
No goals expected on both sides
Our last tip for the NPFL game is goals on one end. Interestingly, this fixture never saw goals on both sides. We expect the same outcome in this 7th meeting. And while Nasarawa couldn’t score in only two of their last six away games, Niger Tornadoes have been defensively apt on home soil.

Niger Tornadoes vs Nasarawa United Match Preview
A preview of this game should further help our readers place a bet on the best possible outcomes above. While there should be a goal on both ends in this game because both teams have had fairly good performance in the final third, historical stats negate that possibility. In six meetings, this fixture never yielded goals on both sides.
Moreover, Niger Tornadoes boast of 11 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in 15 home games. A strong defensive performance has seen the hosts leak just 7 goals in those games. However, lack of firepower has earned Tornadoes only 18 goals in 15 home games.
On the other hand, Nasarawa is without a win on the road in 16 trips. Three draws and 13 losses have earned the visitors the fourth-worst away performance. And looking at Nasarawa’s away scoring and defending record, they have done poorly at the back, leaking 34 goals and scoring 14 times in 16 games. With that, it makes sense why home win is a high possibility.
