The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Warri Wolves so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-11 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Warri Wolves might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Akwa Starlets proved too strong as Wolves slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Warri Township Stadium.

A 1-3 defeat away at Nasarawa United before that.

The attacking power of Wolves when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Wolves rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 25 goals from these away matches.
