Adamawa United form and stats

There's been little loot from Adamawa United's travels as they have only collected 0 points from 8 away games in the Npfl. Adamawa United, who have the most conceded goals (32) in Npfl, only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 0 draws. Adamawa United are still without points from their Npfl away games. 8 games, 8 defeats. A depressing eight defeats in a row for Adamawa United in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Ifeanyi Uba.

Adamawa United are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Npfl against Kwara United (placed 15th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Plateau United wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.

Goals are few and far between in Adamawa United's away league games. Only 3 goals from 8 travels. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Adamawa United's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 23 goals in 8 travels.
