The Npfl season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Katsina United and Nasarawa United promises to be an interesting one.
Nasarawa United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Npfl game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Enyimba, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Nasarawa United.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Nasarawa United 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 0-1-10 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
Katsina United form and stats
The first Npfl game here at Muhammadu Dikko Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Katsina United's home game statistics were 9 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats from 11 games. The Katsina United fans aren't used to losing here at Muhammadu Dikko Stadium and will expect new points from this game. Katsina United has played 33 games in a row here without a defeat.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Enyimba in the Npfl last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Abia Warriors (0-2).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Katsina United as they are travelling to their away game against Akwa United in the Npfl. That match is three days after this one.
Katsina United has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Nasarawa United form and stats
Nasarawa United have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Npfl were 2 victories, 1 draw and 8 defeats from 11 fixtures.
Two away games in a row for Nasarawa United, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 versus Enyimba in the Npfl. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Wikki Tourist.
A new game in only three days for Nasarawa United, the Npfl home match versus Plateau United. Busy days.
1 goal so far away for Nasarawa United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
