OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sunshine Stars's two home games in the Npfl so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Akure Township Stadium.

The spoils were shared in Sunshine Stars's previous game, also at home. Visiting Lobi Stars (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at MFM.

Warri Wolves form and stats

It's not happening yet for Warri Wolves on their Npfl travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Wolves are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Warri Wolves are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Npfl against Katsina United (placed 11th). A 0-3 defeat away at Lobi Stars before that.

1 goal so far away for Warri Wolves, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
