Shooting Stars vs Plateau United NPFL Match Preview
Shooting Stars are fighting to avoiding the drop. The hosts are currently 14th on the NPFL table, just two points above the danger zone. A win in this game could get them to the 12th spot. However, that would still not be enough because the competition in the top flight is stiff this season.
On the other hand, Plateau United must keep the chase for a place in the CAF Champions League alive. The visitors are second on the NPFL table with 60 pts, 9 points above third-placed Enugu Rangers. However, 7 points deficit from the top placed Rivers United means Plateau United has a lot of work to do in this game. To qualify for the next CAF Champions League, Plateau must get at least a point here and hopefully win at least three of the remaining Champions league matches.
Interestingly, the visitors have never lost a match to Shooting Stars. These teams have met in four occasions, matches that ended in three wins for Plateau United and a draw. However, recent away run for Plateau United paints a different picture of struggle. The visitors lost all their last away five games. But as the better side in this matchup, we expect a tough opposition from the visitors as they look to defend their unbeaten run against Shooting Stars. There is a high chance these teams could share the spoils on Sunday.
