Struggling Delta Force will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Abia Warriors in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Delta Force form and stats
Delta Force, who have the most conceded goals (22) in Npfl, have played 5 Npfl games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Delta Force lost their last game at Warri Wolves (placed 14th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Delta Force won a home game hosting Enugu Rangers (1-0).
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Enyimba in only three days.
The Delta Force fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Delta Force's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Abia Warriors form and stats
