Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Delta Force languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Heartland will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Delta Force form and stats
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Npfl numbers at home for Delta Force, who have the most conceded goals (18) in Npfl, so far this season.
In their previous game, led his Delta Force to a defeat in the Npfl match away at Kano Pillars. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Nasarawa United and winning 1-0.
Delta Force were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Goals decide football matches and Delta Force are scoring many of them at home; 6 on target from 3 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Heartland form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Npfl for Heartland with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Heartland seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Heartland won their last game, 1-0 versus Plateau United played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Wikki Tourist wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Goals are few and far between in Heartland's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. Heartland have conceded 5 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: 0 - 1 - 1 (Delta Force wins - draws - Heartland wins). As for goals, 1 match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 1 had two or less.Delta Force missing players
