I'm backing both teams to score when Plateau United host Sporting Lagos on 18 October 2026 at 18:00. This is a clash between two sides in sharp form at the top end of the NPFL table, and I see goals at both ends. Plateau United sit 3rd with 14 points from 8 games after a dominant 4-0 win over Kano Pillars last weekend. They've scored 13 goals already this season and look dangerous at home. Sporting Lagos arrive 8th with 12 points but come off a 2-1 win over Bendel Insurance, so they carry momentum into a tough away fixture.
