An important duel in the bottom section of the Npfl, with both Warri Wolves and MFM experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 14th place.

Insights:
  • Warri Wolves have the most matches under the total-line (7) in Npfl
  • MFM have the fewest scored goals in the second half (4) in Npfl

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting MFM have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-3-21 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.
