There were a total of four draws in the games. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Wikki Tourist scored 4 goals, while Abia Warriors managed to score 8 goals.

As the away club looks to improve their prospects of making the playoffs, we anticipate that they will pick up at least a draw in this match. Despite the fact that Wikki Tourist will be playing at home, we do not believe that it will be an easy game for them to score because they have been performing quite poorly as of late.
