Matchday two of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) was played this midweek across two days – Wednesday and Thursday, https://aclsports.com reports.

The 2022/23 season, which kicked off a little over two weeks ago, has produced stunning results and outstanding performances from some players thus far. Notable performers are Bello Lukman of Abia Warriors and Ismael Sarki (Bendel Insurance), who have both scored in back-to-back games.

So, here is a look at some of the numbers that stood out on the match day under review;

9 – Following their 2-1 defeat in Benin to Bendel Insurance, Plateau United have now lost nine consecutive away games in the #NPFL. Alarming

Since their return to the top-flight last season, Remo Stars have continued to pull surprising results and they were able to do another one on Thursday, following a last-gasp 1-0 win over Gombe United in Gombe.

Meanwhile, things are not going according to plan at home for Finidi George and his men, as they failed to beat Akwa United in their latest home fixture.

Enyimba have now failed to score or win any of their last three home games in the #NPFL – a run of 270 minutes without scoring a goal. Barren

Moving across the state to the capital, Umuahia, Abia Warriors have been imperious at home and continued their brilliant start to the season with a comprehensive 3-1 win over newly promoted Bayelsa United.

An unbeaten home record is a thing in the NPFL and when Gombe United lost their invincibility to Remo Stars on Thursday, a long-standing record was shattered by Andy Okpe’s late goal.
