Katsina United form and stats

Katsina United are steadily winning Npfl games and points here at Muhammadu Dikko Stadium. 14 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 18 games. When Katsina United hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Rivers United, Remo Stars, Enyimba, Enugu Rangers and Kwara United), they have won 3 of 5 matches! Katsina United has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Muhammadu Dikko Stadium. We remember; it was Rivers United.

The supporters are hoping that Katsina will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Akwa Starlets (placed 19th).

Before that, Katsina United had a home game versus Remo Stars which ended with a victory 3-2.

Some goal stats: A review of the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them had goals from both sides.

A decent goal production from Katsina in their home games so far, with 27 goals from 18 league matches. From these home matches, Katsina United have conceded only 11 goals.

Plateau United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Plateau United so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-12 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Plateau United won their last game, 2-1 versus Lobi Stars played at home. That win felt sweet as this team had gone three league rounds without victory.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Akwa United wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Plateau United as they have only managed to score 11 times from 18 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Plateau have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Plateau United - Katsina United 1-0 was the scoreline in these participants' last head to head match, earlier this season. Head to head data (for the last seven meetings): Katsina United won two games, two matches ended with a tie and Plateau United managed three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / seven
