BetGenius backs Plateau United or Draw (Double Chance) at 76% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Plateau United welcome Shooting Stars to Jos in matchday four of the NPFL regular season. The hosts sit ninth in the standings with four points from their opening three games, having bounced back from an opening defeat with a home win over Kwara United and an away draw against Niger Tornadoes.
Shooting Stars have had a limited league schedule so far, picking up a 2-1 victory over Inter Lagos in their sole domestic fixture to sit eleventh with three points. The Ibadan outfit face a demanding road test, with away trips historically proving challenging across the league.
Head-to-head records at this venue strongly favour the hosts, as Plateau United remain unbeaten across their last five home meetings with Shooting Stars, recording two victories and three draws, including a 4-1 win in their most recent encounter in February 2026.
Combined scoring rate: 3.2 goals per game (Plateau United at home plus Shooting Stars away).
