Remo Stars form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Dipo Dina International Stadium as Remo Stars have scored 7 goals to get 14 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Npfl are 4-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). The Remo Stars fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Dipo Dina International Stadium and will expect new points from this game. Remo Stars has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.

The fans are hoping that Remo Stars will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Gombe United (placed 10th).

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Shooting Stars.

There will be little rest for Stars after this match as they are travelling to Lobi Stars for a Npfl game in only four days.

Remo Stars are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Remo Stars have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Akwa United form and stats

There's been little loot from Akwa United's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Npfl. Akwa United only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws. The last three matches for Akwa have all ended in a draw.

Akwa United have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 252 minutes ago. Chukwude was the goal scorer. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Akwa United goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 201 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Akwa played 0-0 against Heartland in their previous match.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus MFM that ended 0-0.

After this away game Akwa United return home for a Npfl game against Akwa Starlets. That game is only four sleeps after this.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Akwa United's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 6 matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
