Warri Wolves form and stats

Things could have gone better for Warri Wolves in their Npfl away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Warri Wolves have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Shooting Stars game.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Npfl home defeat versus Rivers United with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that, Warri Wolves travelled to MFM and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Warri Wolves have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
