With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Npfl game of the season. MFM look forward to welcoming Ifeanyi Uba in front of their home support.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Ifeanyi Uba's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Ifeanyi Uba have performed like this: Played twelve matches resulting in 0 wins, 1 draw and 11 defeats with the goal stats 4-26 (scored/conceded).
