The visiting Rivers United side should be favourites in this visit to Warri Wolves, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their ten league games this season.
- Warri Wolves have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Rivers United has the the best goal difference (+8) in Npfl
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Wolves and Rivers United.
Warri Wolves form and stats
The story so far in the Npfl for Warri Wolves at their home stadium is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Warri Wolves faced defeat in their previous match, away at Abia Warriors (1-4). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Enugu Rangers (0-1).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Wolves as they are travelling to their away game against Kwara United in the Npfl. That match is four days after this one.
The Wolves fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 6 goals in 4 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Warri Wolves have only let in 2 goals at home.
Rivers United form and stats
The visitors, who have the the best goal difference (+8) in Npfl, are W1-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Npfl. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Rivers United's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Prior to that match, the Rivers United manager S. Eguma faced defeat when travelling to Enyimba and losing 0-1.
The schedule is very tough for Rivers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Npfl game at Akwa United is waiting in only four days.
Goals are few and far between in Rivers's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. As opposed to that, Rivers have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: one win for Wolves, one draw and four wins for Rivers United. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Warri Wolves missing players
