Betting Features of the Nigeria Premier Football League 2025/2026

Betting on the NPFL requires patience, and bettors must be aware of the changing dynamics of games. However, the league features numerous repeated patterns that serve as a strong point for bettors.

Key trends to consider:

• Low-scoring games: In round one of this season, all 10 games were under 2.5 goals. It's been a common occurrence in the league to see games with not many goals.
• Home advantage: Last season, there were over 60% home wins. Similarly, there were only two away wins in the first matchday of the season. The occurrence of this result can be attributed to the long road journey of some clubs to play away games.
• Derby intensity: Matches like the Oriental Derby, South West Derby, etc., often involve a clear battle even beyond the pitch.
• Defensive Solidity: Many teams often work on their defence. Last season, Remo Stars kept 19 clean sheets in the 2024/25 season, and only one game (Remo Stars vs Rivers United) in the opening round of this season saw BTTS.

The Nigeria Premier Football League 2025/26 Favourites

With the season still young, the title charge is heating up, and various clubs are showing their credentials for the title. Here are the odds for the top four NPFL clubs from the best Nigerian bookmakers:

Remo Stars

Remo Stars won their first NPFL title last season, and it is not surprising to see them lead the run to defend the title now. Under the leadership of Daniel Ogunmodede, the team is the most organised team in Nigeria. They kept the most clean sheets (19) last season, and their excellent defence makes them a team to beat this season.

Ikorodu City

Ikorodu City (the baby of the league) shocked everybody last season with its impressive run. The Oga Boys nearly clinched a continental spot with a structure that can be likened to Remo Stars. The Lagos club scored the highest number of goals (60) last season, and their attacking football is something to beat this season.

Abia Warriors

While Abia Warriors seemBendel Insurance be a strange face among the big boys, clinching a continental spot last season wasn’t an easy one. They finished last season third in the league with 60 points, and the new additions to the team, in preparation for continental matches, will indirectly help their league form.

Bendel Insurance

Insurance finished 5th last season, just two spots off the top 3 spots. Regardless, not making it to the continent could be a blessing in disguise for their title run. Under the leadership of Greg Ikhenoba, the Benin Arsenal have the needed players to fight for the title.
