Rivers United vs Katsina United Prediction: The hosts won’t disappoint on their ground

Rivers United will be keen to amass all the points when they face off against Katsina United at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Thursday. Can the guests pull a surprise stunt against the hosts here?

Rivers United (5th)

Last five games: DLWLD

The Pride of Rivers have been inconsistent lately, marching here with a win in seven matches. Recently, they settled for a share of the spoils on the road against Akwa United. Rivers United needed the result following their slim (1-0) loss against Enyimba on the road. Even though they were reduced to ten men, they stood their ground to share the spoils on the road. 

Rivers United have won nine, lost six, and drawn nine over their last twenty-two games to the campaign. Rivers United presently occupy the fifth spot on the log, picking up thirty-nine points from a combined seventy-five. 

Rivers United have won eight games, lost once, and drawn three games over their last twelve home games this season. 

Katsina United (14th)

Last five games: WLWDW

The Chanji Boys are unbeaten in their last three games in the league, heading here with a (2-1) victory over Enyimba Aba. They were at the top of their game as Bello Lukman scored a brace to win his side all the points at home. This was after their (1-1) stalemate against Lobi Stars on the road. 

The Chanji Boys' only hope of surviving this season is to always win on their ground, and they have only tasted defeat once at home this season. However, they are yet to win any of their last twelve away matches. 

Katsina United have picked up thirty-three points from a combined seventy-five, scoring eighteen and conceding nineteen.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Rivers United have won six, while Katsina United have managed three wins and a game ending in a tie. Finidi George's men have been inconsistent lately as they have managed just a win in seven games. They can’t continue like this if they are to challenge for a top-three finish, and they must win here to assume second place. 

Rivers United are the favourite against Katsina United, who have not won on the road since 2021. I’m confident this game will produce goals as Rivers United hardly keep a clean sheet on their ground; bet on the home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.67 at (Betway).

For a long time now, Rivers United have been shaky on their ground, but I think they'll be at the top of their game this time and might likely get a halftime win for 1.80 at(Bet365)

I also think this game will produce more than two goals for 2.13 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
