Remo Stars form and stats

Remo Stars have performed here at Dipo Dina International Stadium this season with 13 wins from 17 Npfl matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Remo Stars after consecutive victories at their own ground.

No payout for Stars in their previous match, an away game at Katsina United that ended in defeat 2-3. The defeat against Katsina United was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored 34 minutes into stoppage time (by Matthew).

Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Lobi Stars.

A decent goal production from Remo Stars in their home games so far, with 27 goals from 17 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Remo Stars have only let in 7 goals at home. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Enyimba form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Enyimba so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-12 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

There were no winners in Enyimba's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Heartland (placed 17th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against MFM wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Enyimba are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 7 goals from 17 away games. 21 goals have been conceded by Enyimba in these games.

Head 2 Head

Enyimba - Stars 2-1 was the scoreline in these participants' previous head to head fixture, earlier this season. Stats for the former four meetings featuring these two sides are: zero wins for Remo Stars, one draw and three wins for Enyimba. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: three games.
