Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Plateau United languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Nasarawa United will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Plateau United nor Nasarawa United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Nasarawa United 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 0-2-8 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
