Only a few games have been played in the Npfl so far, with Akwa United placed 12th and Wikki Tourist sitting in the 16th position.
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 Akwa United and Wikki Tourist.
Wikki Tourist play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Wikki Tourist when playing on grass are 3 wins, 4 draws and 19 defeats from 26 matches. They have scored 8 goals and conceded 35 times in these games.
These teams have little in common geographically as Wikki Tourist have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Akwa United form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Akwa United's two home games in the Npfl so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Akwa Ibom Stadium.
Akwa shared the glory with Kwara United in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Abia Warriors.
Early season league goal statistics from Akwa United's 2 home games: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Wikki Tourist form and stats
It's not happening yet for Wikki Tourist on their Npfl travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Tourist have lost on their last two travels.
Tourist are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Npfl against Rivers United (placed 1st). A 0-1 defeat away at Enyimba before that.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Wikki Tourist has managed 1 goal and let in 3 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Akwa United five wins, two draws and Wikki Tourist three victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Akwa United missing players
