New Star form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Elite One travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Star seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
New Star lost away at Dragon de Yaounde (2-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can tell from the result, the match against Dragon de Yaounde was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Renaissance's place.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the New Star manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Eding Sport.
The attacking power of Star when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
