Confidence

Plateau United bring strong recent form into this contest, remaining unbeaten in their past five league matches with three wins and two draws. Enyimba have endured a difficult start to the campaign with four defeats in six games and ten goals conceded overall. While Enyimba secured a 4-2 victory over Shooting Stars in their last home outing, Plateau United have proven difficult to defeat on the road by securing draws at both Niger Tornadoes and Doma United. Backing Plateau United to secure a win or draw reflects their superior league standing and consistency across the opening weeks.
