The Npfl league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Enyimba and Kano Pillars are placed 10th and 3rd respectively.
- Kano Pillars has the most dropped points from leading position (4) in Npfl
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.
3 - 9 - 11 with 13-28. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Kano Pillars when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Kano Pillars play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
Kano Pillars have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Enyimba form and stats
Perfect Npfl season at home so far for Enyimba 2 wins from 2 appearances. There’s a good atmosphere here at Enyimba International Stadium after three straight home wins.
Enyimba are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Heartland. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Wikki Tourist.
There will be little rest for Enyimba after this match as they are travelling to Kwara United for a Npfl game in only three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Enyimba's 2 home games: 2 goals, 0 conceded.
Kano Pillars form and stats
Things could have gone better for Kano Pillars in their Npfl away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Visiting Pillars has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
Pillars go into this game after a win, the home game against Plateau United that ended 1-0. A 1-1 draw at Nasarawa United's stadium before that.
Kano Pillars have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
