Struggling Adamawa United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Lobi Stars in the upcoming league round. It’s 19th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

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 Adamawa United and Lobi Stars.

Adamawa United form and stats

3 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Adamawa United, who have the most conceded goals (7) at home in Npfl, have to build on here in the Npfl. Adamawa United has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.

Adamawa United lost their last game at Akwa Starlets (placed 4th) after a 1-4 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Adamawa United lost 0-2 at home to Rivers United.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Jigawa Golden Stars in only four days.

Adamawa United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. Adamawa United have conceded 7 in these home matches.

Lobi Stars form and stats

There's been little loot from Lobi Stars's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Npfl. Lobi Stars, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Npfl, only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.

Lobi Stars are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Npfl against Sunshine Stars (placed 9th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Akwa United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A new game in only four days for Lobi Stars, the Npfl home match versus MFM. Busy days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Lobi Stars's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. It's not easy to score on Lobi Stars as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
