Competition: Nigeria Npfl
Date: Sun 12.January
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)

Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Delta Force languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Katsina United will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Katsina United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Npfl game only four sleeps ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Katsina United have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 0-3-13 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.

Katsina United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
