The Pride of River are unbeaten in their last seven games in the league. They head here after beating Bayelsa United (2-1) on their home ground. With the CAF Confederation out of the equation, we expect Rivers United to fully focus on retaining the league. Rivers United remains the league's best side, and we trust them to win the group as they sit in the second spot with three outstanding games.

Rivers United have won once, drawn four, and lost four times on the road this season.

Both sides have met thirteen times in the league, with Rivers United winning four and Wikki Tourists recording six victories. Four games have also ended in a share of the spoils. Wikki Tourists have won all and drawn just once against the champions at home but are not in great form in recent weeks. Rivers United are our favorite pick here, and we expect them to at least get a goal for 1.80.

This encounter might finish in another share of the spoils as the home side fights for survival, bet on an away win, and over 1.5 goals for 2.20.

We expect both sides to get a goal each for 2.05.

Good luck!
