Bayelsa United vs Rivers United Prediction: Expect a win for the visiting squad

Samson Siasia Sports Stadium will play host to the encounter between Bayelsa United and Rivers United in the seventh round of the competition. The home team is listed as a slight favorite, but the last time they played, the away team, Rivers United, won by a large margin.

Bayelsa United will play this encounter with the expectation of earning their first victory of the season and hopefully getting a nice outcome. The host club has not been victorious in any of their most recent five league matches, suffering defeat in two of those contests while also being tied in three others. Still, there is a lot of room for improvement on both the defensive and offensive sides of the team. Their terrible performance in the Nigeria Professional Football League is likely to put them at the bottom of Group B.

Rivers United will play this match with the intention of improving on their performance in their most recent CAF Confederation Cup match, which they won against ASEC Mimosas. The away team was successful in winning three of their most recent five matches across all competitions. These victories came against Dakkada FC, Wiki Tourist, and Mimosas, but they were defeated by Doma United and Diables Noir, respectively. Throughout those contests, the away team scored eight goals while only allowing six on the defensive end. Rivers United is currently in fourth place in the league rankings, having earned 13 points from a possible 18 over the course of six matches.

The host club has had a lot of dismal performances and results in most of its matches so far this season, and as a result, they will have trouble winning this match. Rivers United, on the other hand, appears to be the superior team coming into this encounter, and I have no doubt that they will pull off the upset and get a victory away from home. Due to the fact that both teams are anticipated to put in good defensive efforts, I have no doubt that we will see a match with few goals scored, and Rivers United is anticipated to emerge victorious with a score of 1-0.
