A good game and three points is the only event that will be enough for the Kwara United followers in this Khasab Sports Complex battle with MFM, as they enjoy a solid lead on them in the Npfl table.
- Kwara United have the most points from losing position (9) in Npfl
- MFM have the fewest scored goals (26) in Npfl
Kwara can neither be promoted or relegated from Npfl. For MFM it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact. 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 2-8-10 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
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!
Kwara United form and stats
Kwara United have been outstanding at home so far in the Npfl with 15 wins, 3 draws and only 0 losses. After failing to beat Abia Warriors here at Khasab Sports Complex, Kwara United has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
The Kwara fans enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Nasarawa United and win 3-0.
Prior to that, an away loss at Niger Tornadoes.Goal party? We don't know what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league matches with this side has seen three or more goals.
Kwara United have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Khasab Sports Complex with 29 goals in 18 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Kwara United have only let in 7 goals at home. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
MFM form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for MFM so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 0-6-12 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 18 away games in a row.
MFM have lots to play for after their out-of-character loss (1-2) to Niger Tornadoes in their previous game, played at their own home ground. MFM were so close to getting something from the game against Niger Tornadoes, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
A 1-2 defeat away at Sunshine Stars before that.MFM are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 8 goals from 18 away games. MFM have conceded 31 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
