Struggling NAPSA Stars will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Red Arrows in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Red Arrows have the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Super League
It's no vacation for neither NAPSA nor Red Arrows as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

Red Arrows form and stats

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Arrows goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The attacking power of Red Arrows when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Arrows in these games.
