Match analysis
Shooting Stars lost all four of their recent away games and won the one they played at home, 2-0 against Katsina United. Superior's forecast for Shooting Stars vs Kano Pillars on 7 October is a 1-0 home win, with 1-1 the next most likely score, and Kano Pillars' unbeaten run of five came with four of those games at home.
Shooting Stars kept a clean sheet in their only home game of the run
Superior's score grid builds an expected scoring rate for each side from measured scoring and conceding, checked against the league's baseline where a sample is thin, and it makes Shooting Stars the likelier team to score in this one. Their results show how far apart their two halves are. Away from home they lost 4-2 at Enyimba, 1-0 at Warri Wolves, 3-1 at Plateau United and 2-0 at CS Sfaxien. At home they beat Katsina United 2-0 on 23 September without conceding.
Kano Pillars have scored in four of their last five
The 1-0 needs Kano Pillars to blank, and they average 1.8 goals a game. They scored in every game of the run except a 0-0 with Enyimba, and their one away trip finished 1-1 at Inter Lagos. Shooting Stars have conceded in four of their five. A single Kano goal moves the result to the 1-1 that Superior ranks second, which is the most realistic way this forecast misses.
