The season is still fairly new and the Npfl table has to be read with caution. So far Lobi Stars find themselves in 5th position and Heartland are placed 13th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Heartland 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 0-4-9 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

Lobi Stars have only played one Npfl game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats from 2 matches.
