Competition: Nigeria Npfl
Date: Sun 26.January
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)

This could be an interesting match as Katsina United have their presumed home advantage while Ifeanyi Uba are ahead 2 points in the Npfl table.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Ifeanyi Uba have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-1-11 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.

It's quite the trip for Ifeanyi Uba when visiting Katsina United as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
