Nzoia Sugar vs Sofapaka tips and predictions

No verdict returned in Premier League fixture

All outcomes are on the table here but the value has to be with the deadlock. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Establishing something of a fortress at home, Nzoia Sugar have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches, while Sofapaka have been impressive defensively on the road. They've let in an average of 0.6 goals per game over their last 9 matches away from home.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 4 of the last 12 have ended with parity.

The betting markets imply that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet as the match is likely to be tight. Should it play out as many expect then the No BTTS bet could be sensible.

Nzoia Sugar have drawn 8 of their last 14 matches on their own soil. They drew 0-0 with Bandari last week. Sofapaka have drawn 9 of their last 18 matches on the road. They shared the spoils with Posta Rangers last week and while any draw is the pick, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. The feeling is it will be a tightly contested match-up and the pick has to be with the value offered up by the draw price. You could do worse things than cheering on the deadlock.
