The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) returns for midweek fixtures, with the southwest derby being the biggest game in matchweek 3. Here are some betting tips for this tough NPFL fixture.
The southwest derby is back for another season in the NPFL, as Remo Stars host Shooting Stars at Ikenne on Wednesday.
Remo Stars have come a long way in a short time to become one of the top clubs in the NPFL. The Ikenne-based club has kicked off from where they left off last season, having won both of their league fixtures this season.
Last season, Shooting Stars avoided relegation thanks to a late revival. The Oluyole Warriors have since changed managers, with former Remo Stars manager Gbenga Ogunbote now heading the Ibadan-based club.
We have some betting tips for this match as these teams square off at the Remo Star stadium.

Remo to win @ 1.30 odds on Bet9ja
Remo Stars have a 100 percent record in the NPFL, winning two out of two this season. Last season, the Sky Blue Stars won by a single goal in a closely contested match. Shooting Stars have yet to win this season, with two draws in their first two games. Remo are the favorites going into this one and are expected to pick up all three points.

Remo Stars to win and under 2.5 @ 2.11 odds on Bet9ja
As stated above, we expect Remo to pick up a win in this fixture, but we don’t expect many goals. This fixture has characteristically failed to produce many goals, with the last four producing two goals or less. We expect this trend to continue, with Remo securing a slim win.
Correct score: 1-0 @ 3.70 odds on Bet9ja
Remo Stars won this fixture 1-0 last season, and we expect this outcome to repeat itself. In the last four meetings between these teams, three have ended with a 1-1 scoreline, and one has ended 1-0.
