The Pride of Rivers began their league campaign with a disappointing result against Niger Tornadoes on the road. Bashir Usman's early goal in the 6th minute was all that was required to secure his side a much-deserved victory, while Rivers State felt disappointed after losing for the first time in four years against the home team.
Rivers United are unbeaten at home since 2022, and, certainly, they won’t lose here.

Alimi Sikiru doubled their score in the 53rd minute to hand his side their first victory of the season.

Expert Betting Tips
Rivers United are yet to taste defeat against Remo Stars in their previous eight meetings. Rivers United were not bad against Niger Tornadoes and deserved a point, at least. On the other hand, Remo Stars returned from a goal down to secure the maximum points in their opening league game. Both sides' recent meeting ended in a share of the spoils, but we expect a winner to emerge here. Rivers United will strive to get a home win here, but we’re not sure they’ll keep a clean sheet; bet on a home win for 1.80.
We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.12.
The Pride of Rivers might even get a halftime victory here for 2.62.
Good luck!
