Rivers United vs Lobi Stars FC Prediction: The hosts won’t disappoint on their ground

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

Rivers United (3rd)

Last five games: DDLDL

The Pride of Rivers have been inconsistent lately, marching here with a win in six matches. Recently, they bowed to a (2-0) loss on the road against Heartland Owerri. They were overwhelmed by their opponent as they were unable to find the back of the net. 

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

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

Lobi Stars (19th)

Last five games: LDLDL

The Bauchi-based team sits comfortably in the relegation zone after their shocking loss at home against Enyimba Aba. It was a devastating defeat for Daniel Amokachi's men, who were outnumbered on their ground. This result was after their (1-1) stalemate against Akwa United on the road. 

The Rise And Shine Boys have managed one win in six games and they are one of the worst teams in the division. 

Having won five of their previous twenty-two league games, Lobi Stars might be on their way to Division Two, the second tier of Nigerian football, if things remain the same. This would be a significant setback for the team and could affect their performance in the upcoming match. Things haven’t been going in the right direction for the hosts since the start of the season, as they have won the joint fewest games of all the teams in the league. 

Lobi Stars are aware that a win here would give them the confidence to surge ahead in the long run, and we expect them to approach this game with urgency.
