Preview

Match preview

Inter Lagos host Nasarawa United in round 9 of the NPFL regular season, seeking to overturn a difficult start to the campaign. The home side occupy 20th place in the table with two points from eight matches, remaining without a win on their own ground following two draws and two defeats.

Nasarawa United travel sitting in 11th position with 11 points from their eight games. While they have been dependable at home, their travels have been far tougher, yielding one draw and three defeats from four away matches alongside a return of three goals scored and seven conceded.

With both sides showing limited attacking output in their respective home and away splits, opportunities in front of goal could be limited. Inter Lagos have averaged 0.5 goals per game at home, while Nasarawa United have averaged 0.8 goals per match on the road.
