Steve Biko have played 10 GFA League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-7-1 (wins-draws-losses). With eight home GFA League games in a row without a win, the Steve fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

Heartbreak before that as Steve Biko lost 0-1 at Fortune's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Steve Biko perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Steve as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Steve Biko has won 2 of these, drawn 5 and lost 0.

Jawara was the last player to score for the away team. Banjul haven't scored a league goal in the last 439 minutes.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Steve Biko (placed 12th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Hawks.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Banjul in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Banjul, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

A bet on few goals? 5 league games in a row with this side have had zero, one or two goals.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Banjul's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
