The Pride of Rivers returned to winning ways, having now gone two games on the road without a loss. Rivers United pulled off one of their best displays this campaign as they carted away the maximum points against a solid Kim Khalifat away from home. The game began with both teams asking questions; unfortunately, neither were able to break the deadlock at the break. In the second half, Kun Khalifat were more desperate for all the points, but Jenewari, who came on from the bench, scored the only goal for Rivers United. The (0-1) was their first-ever win on the road this season, as they are in third spot on the away form chart.

Last five games: DWWDL

After five consecutive games without a defeat, the Seasiders succumbed to a loss against Ikorodu City on their home ground. For the first time in a long time, WARRII WOLVES were totally outmuscled by a visiting team, conceding twice without finding the back of the net. The game started off with the guests pressuring the Warri Wolves, and after nineteen minutes of play, Adebayo broke the deadlock. Just before the end of the halftime, Ikorodu City doubled their lead. In the second half, the guests defended well, even though the Warri Wolves tried to take advantage of them.

The Seasiders had also found the back of the net in their six consecutive NPFL games, until their most recent defeat on their home turf. 

Warri Wolves have picked up eighteen points from a potential thirty-six points, finding the back of the net eleven times and letting in ten goals.

Warri Wolves are very experienced in the NPFL, and they are currently ranked the best team on the away form chart, having won three of their previous six games on the road.

Rivers United vs Warri Wolves FC Match Prediction, 16 November 2025

The Seasiders were tactically overwhelmed by Ikorodu City a few days ago, and they’ll be keen to flip the script on the road tomorrow. Meanwhile, Rivers United returned home with the maximum points on the road against Kun Khalifat. 

The newly promoted Warri Wolves have been in decent form lately, until their game against Ikorodu City. They’ll face off against a solid Rivers United side, who are capable of defending from the start to the end of this encounter. 

Warri Wolves have been the most consistent team on the road this season, winning three of their last six games away from home. However, they have had a terrible record against Rivers United across their previous six meetings. The hosts have been the best defensive team since the league began, and they are in high spirits following their away victory. The guests won't give in easily, but I feel Rivers United have enough arsenal to get the better of their opponent.

My match prediction is for Rivers United to win and score less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.87 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

My betting tip for this match is a halftime stalemate, with a coefficient of 1.81 on the Betway bookmaker.

My final betting tip is for Rivers United to win with a (2-0) correct score for odds of 5.01 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
