**Shooting Stars looking to shake off their road woes**, but **Abia Warriors have the recent H2H edge** — this is a proper coin flip. 🎯
Stars have flashed brilliance at home (that 3-1 over Ranchers Bees) but also suffered a brutal away loss to Kun Khalifat; Warriors are struggling for rhythm after back-to-back defeats but know they've got the head-to-head leverage, winning 7 of their last 14 encounters.
Key storylines:
- **Shooting Stars' home form** vs **Abia Warriors' defensive fragility** — Stars won their last home game convincingly, while Warriors shipped goals in both recent road trips
- **Abia's H2H advantage** gives them belief despite current form dip
- **Midfield control** will decide this; **L. Emmanuel** and **O. Akala** for Stars against **I. Godwin** and **O. Duke** for Warriors
Expected lineups:
- **Shooting Stars**: M. Lawal, J. Amusat, D. Ojietefian, G. Adelowo, O. Akala, L. Emmanuel, S. Amos, A. Taheer, Q. Adegoke, S. Ibrahim
- **Abia Warriors**: A. Ishaku, F. Jibrin, A. Somiari, K. Ihunwo, I. Godwin, O. Duke, S. Oguntayo, I. Alonge, E. Ikoi, C. Nnachi
Prediction:
**Shooting Stars 2–1 Abia Warriors**. Home advantage edges it, but this won't be pretty. ⚽
