Ifeanyi Uba are welcoming MFM for another important game after their 1-1 result against 15th-placed MFM.

Insights:

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!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting MFM have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-3-21 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.

MFM form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for MFM so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in MFM's last three away games as they have all been lost.

MFM has another fixture away, a Npfl game, against Warri Wolves in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Goals are few and far between in MFM's away league games. Only 2 goals from 9 travels. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, MFM have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
