Lobi Stars vs Rivers United Prediction: Both sides hoping to avoid a defeat

At Onikan Stadium in Lagos, Nigeria, the Lobi Stars and Rivers United will compete in the third round of the NPFL Super Six tournament. 

The unfortunate Lobi Stars side will be looking for a win in this match in the hopes of avoiding yet another loss. In their most recent contests, the Lobi Stars have only one victory to their name while also suffering three defeats and having only one of their games finish in a draw. Lobi Stars haven't scored a single goal in either of their most recent two matches, and they haven't won any of their most recent three matches, either.

The away team, Rivers United, has not tasted defeat in their last eight matches, and they will come into this one feeling optimistic that they can continue their winning streak. Rivers United and Remo Stars played to a tie in their most recent match, which resulted in a score of 2-2 at the contest's conclusion. Rivers United, on the other hand, will be hoping for a better outcome here in order to avoid a result that would be unsatisfactory for them. Rivers United have now scored in each of their previous seven matches, with their most recent loss coming against Young Africans in late April. Rivers United have now gone seven straight matches without suffering a goalless draw.

The most recent five matches between these two teams ended with one victory apiece for Lobi Stars and Rivers United, as well as a draw in one of the contests. During that time period, Lobi Stars scored six goals, while Rivers United netted nine.

The fact that Lobi Stars lost to Enyimba in their most recent game at their stadium shows that playing at home does not give them any kind of advantage, so the host team is not in the best position to win this match. As a result, I anticipate that this match will be a close one with only a handful of goals and that Rivers United will have a little advantage here.
