Preview

Match preview

Katsina United welcome Plateau United in NPFL action, looking to extend an impressive home record. Katsina sit 12th in the table with 12 points from nine games, but their form in front of their home supporters tells a different story. They remain undefeated on home soil this season, recording three victories and one draw with eight goals scored in four outings.

Plateau United occupy fourth position with 14 points, yet their campaign has been heavily dependent on home dominance. On their travels, Plateau have failed to secure a win in four attempts, registering two draws and two defeats while conceding seven goals and scoring just three. They also head into this fixture following a 3-2 home defeat to Sporting Lagos.

Historical head-to-head records heavily favour the hosts at this venue. In five previous league encounters hosted by Katsina United, Plateau United have failed to win, suffering three losses and managing two scoreless draws. With encounters between these sides historically tight and averaging only 1.4 goals per match, another low-margin contest appears likely.
