NAPSA Stars form and stats

4-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for NAPSA Stars so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for NAPSA Stars after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The spoils were shared in NAPSA's previous game, also at home. Visiting JS Kabylie travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at RSB Berkane.

A disappointing finish for NAPSA in their match versus JS Kabylie as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

The NAPSA Stars fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. From these home matches, NAPSA have conceded only 7 goals.

Buildcon form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Buildcon playing as the away team in the Super League this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Buildcon's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Late drama in the previous game, when Junnior Batata scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Power Dynamos.

Buildcon have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 10 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Buildcon have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
