It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Nasarawa United and Heartland.
Nasarawa United form and stats
Nasarawa United have played three Npfl home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Nasarawa United to get some points in this home game.
Nasarawa United lost their last game at Adamawa United (placed 16th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Sunshine Stars.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Kano Pillars are coming to town in four days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Nasarawa United means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Nasarawa United have conceded 3 in these home matches.
