The visiting Nasarawa United side should be favourites in this visit to Wikki Tourist, as the away team holds a 9 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.
- Wikki Tourist have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Nasarawa United have the most matches over the total-line (7) in Npfl
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Nasarawa United have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-1-14 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
Wikki Tourist form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium as Wikki Tourist have scored 13 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Npfl are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
As you see from the result above, Tourist suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Tourist are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. As for guarding their own goal, Tourist have only let in 5 goals at home. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Nasarawa United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nasarawa United so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose). Nasarawa United seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Goals are few and far between in Nasarawa's away league games. Only 4 goals from 10 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Nasarawa have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
