Nkwazi form and stats

As the visiting team in Super League matches, Nkwazi have produced an overall stat of 1-4-0 so far.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Nkwazi when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning zero games.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nkwazi manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Young Green Eagles.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nkwazi as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
