Warri Wolves battle against Lobi Stars for glory and sporting success.

Warri Wolves and Lobi Stars should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Lobi Stars have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-10-5 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.
