In the first round of the Nigerian Premier League, I'm betting on Sporting Lagos to win. They showed good results last season, finishing first in the main tournament. Their form was impressive, with 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses. The team has experience playing at a high level and will be aiming for the middle of the table. On the other hand, Gombe United had a disappointing end to last season, losing 3 out of their last 5 matches. They also showed weak attacking play, scoring only 10 goals in 18 matches. Considering the form and experience of the teams, as well as Sporting Lagos' home advantage, I believe they have the edge in this match and can secure a victory.
