Kano Pillars vs Akwa United prediction

This is the start of the Championship Round and plenty of effort can be expected from both sides. These are the two best teams from Group B and this is why goal exchange is not as improbable as usually in Nigeria. Kano Pillars are an excellent host that won eight of last nine home games so scoring a goal or two and winning at home pitch is something natural to this team. Akwa United lost by this exact score last two visits and as shocking as it may sound it is likely to happen again and it is surely more likely than the odds suggest. 1:0 is the most likely score butt 2:1 is the third most likely one and with probability about 15-20%. Correct score 2:1 appeals to me considerably eventhough being a statistically impertinent prediction.
