EPAC United form and stats

There's been little loot from EPAC United's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the Super League. EPAC United only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. EPAC United seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

EPAC United play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Ntopwa (placed 15th). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Be Forward Wanderers's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting EPAC United as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. 17 goals have been conceded by EPAC United in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; EPAC United - Ntopwa 3-0.
