Bros IQ's reading
Shooting Stars go into matchday 11 15th of 20, with 12 points from 10 games. Abia Warriors come into the same round 17th of 20, on 10 points from the same number of matches. Rivers United lead the table on 17 points. That leaves Shooting Stars 5 points off the top, and Abia Warriors 7 points adrift.
Na different story for Shooting Stars anytime dem dey play for Lekan Salami. Home has treated them well this season. They stand at 2W 2D 0L in their last 4 league matches there. Away from Ibadan, the story flips, just 0W 1D 3L from 4 matches on the road. At home they have scored 7 goals this season, against 5 scored away.
Abia Warriors have not found away matches easy either. Their away record in the league stands at 1W 1D 2L from 4 matches. They are without a win in their last 4 matches overall. The most recent match ended in a loss, a run that followed 2 draws in a row just before it.
Dis fixture dey carry history, and make we read it well before we move. Shooting Stars’ head-to-head record against Abia Warriors reads 3W 0D 2L. On Sunday 19 October 2025, Shooting Stars won 2-0 at home. On Sunday 8 March 2026, Abia Warriors won 2-0 on their own ground.
The underlying numbers lean toward goals without being one-sided. Shooting Stars scored 1.2 and conceded 1.4 goals per match over their last 10 matches. Abia Warriors scored 0.9 and conceded 1.3 per match over the same stretch. Abia Warriors have also failed to score in 3 of their last 8 matches.
E go dey tight for Lekan Salami on Sunday, and that crowd fit push Shooting Stars forward. The stadium holds 18,000 people. Ibadan has not been a bad place for this team to pick up points this season.
My read on this one is Shooting Stars to win. Abia Warriors have conceded 10 goals in 5 away matches this season, more than double their home total of 3. Still, Shooting Stars have failed to score in 4 of their last 8 matches. This pick can lose if the finishing touch deserts them again. Kick off is Sunday 1 November 2026, 16:00 Lagos time.
