Sunshine Stars form and stats

Sunshine Stars have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Npfl, after 1-2-9 (12 played). Sunshine are desperate to end a 17-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Enugu Rangers fixture.

There might be some fixture complaints from Sunshine as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Npfl match against Lobi Stars (1-2).

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting MFM.

After this away game Sunshine Stars return home for a Npfl game against Akwa Starlets. That game is only four sleeps after this.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Sunshine Stars's away games in the league this season with only 6 goals from 12 matches. As opposed to that, Sunshine Stars have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Sunshine Stars - Wolves 1-0 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Wolves wins - draws - Sunshine Stars wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
