Red Lions form and stats
4-0-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Red Lions, who have the fewest scored goals (6) at home in Super League, so far this season. Three consecutive losses here at Mpira Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Red Lions's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Karonga United (placed 4th).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Mzuni and winning 1-0.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super League game versus CIVO United in only one day. This game is also played here at Mpira Stadium.
Lions aren't scoring a lot here at Mpira Stadium in the league, with only 6 goals from 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 10 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Ntopwa form and stats
There's been little loot from Ntopwa's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 12 away games in the Super League. Ntopwa only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Moyale Barracks (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The Super League match ended in a draw 1-1.
A loss against Kamuzu Barracks was the result prior to that, in a home game.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ntopwa playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
The attacking power of Ntopwa when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Ntopwa manager has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
