It's early days in the National Football League and both Nadi and Ba are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Nadi and Ba.
Nadi form and stats
Only two National Football League home games for Nadi so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Nadi are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Labasa. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Nasinu in a game that was won 5-0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Suva are coming to town in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nadi at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Ba form and stats
Ba are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the National Football League.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a National Football League home defeat versus Nasinu with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Lautoka.
After this away game Ba return home for a National Football League game against Labasa. That game is only three sleeps after this.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Ba has managed 3 goals and let in 1 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
