- Enyimba have won all their matches at home so far.
- Katsina United have lost all their away matches so far.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
0-3-18 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Katsina United when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 21 matches are 5-37 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as Katsina United have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Enyimba form and stats
Perfect Npfl season at home so far for Enyimba 3 wins from 3 appearances.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kwara United (0-1).
There will be little rest for Enyimba after this match as they are travelling to Nasarawa United for a Npfl game in only three days.
Enyimba are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Defensively Enyimba have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Katsina United form and stats
No Npfl points yet away for Katsina United, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Katsina manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

A 0-1 defeat away at Nasarawa United before that.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Rivers United in just three days.
Katsina are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 0 goals from 3 away games. Katsina United have conceded 6 goals in these games.
