Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Shooting Stars 41%, the draw 24%, Kano Pillars 35%.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.43 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.0 goals in total (1.58 for Shooting Stars, 1.43 for Kano Pillars), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Shooting Stars sit 10th on 15 points; Kano Pillars are 4th on 18.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
