Kwara United vs Rivers United FC Prediction: We expect both sides to settle for a share of the spoils here

Kwara United will lock horns with Rivers United at the Kwara State Complex Stadium on Thursday. The home side are unbeaten in their last four games, and must secure the maximum points here to stand a chance of surviving relegation. 

Kwara United (14th)

Last five games: LDWWD

The Northern-based side head here with another decent display on the road as they settled for a share of the spoils against Doma United. The result came after their back-to-back wins over Akwa United and Gombe United. They are now three points above the relegation zone and must win here to stand a chance of remaining in the league. 

Kabiru Dogo men have been unstable this season, and they will likely fight for relegation. 

Kwara United have won eight, drawn six and lost once at home this season. 

Rivers United (13th)

Last five games: WWWWLL

The Pride of Rivers might not return to the continental tournament next season after squandering their last two games at hand—rivers United head here with back-to-back defeats against Bayelsa United and Remo Stars. 

Despite scoring first, they were below par against the hosts and could not convert their chances. Rivers United's four games unbeaten run was all on their ground as they have now failed to win any of their last nine games on the road. Despite four wins over their previous six games, it’s extremely strange to see Rivers in 13th place on the log, considering the quality of their team. They have four outstanding games yet to be played after their participation in the continental tournament, and we expect them to move up as soon as possible. 

They have picked up forty points from a combined eighty-four and are three points above the relegation zone. Rivers United have drawn four, lost eleven, and won two away from home this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Kwara United haven’t been clinical enough on their ground; they have one of the worst records at home. They have won six of their last fifteen matches at home. At the same time, Rivers United are extremely poor on the road and pretty timid when playing away from home. However, they have a solid record against the hosts, and we think they’ll not lose six consecutive matches away from home. We are trusting them to at least secure a point here for 2.12.

A correct score of (1-1) might surface here for 7.10.

On the other hand, the visitors will attack the home side and might get a goal. We expect this encounter to be open, with both sides getting a goal each for 2.60.
