Nitro has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.8 points over those games. Winfield is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 12-10.

Nitro does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Winfield, they will challenge Point Pleasant at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Winfield will be up against Point Pleasant's rather soft defense (which has allowed 56.36 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
