Arguably, the pick of the opening round matches in the CAF Champions League sees Pyramids FC facing off against Rivers United at the 30 June Stadium on Saturday night. Pyramids and the Pride of Rivers are joined by Power Dynamos and RSB Berkane in Group A. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Pyramids will commence their title defence at home this weekend after winning the CAF Champions League last season, which was just their second-ever campaign in the competition.
The Cairo-based outfit were beaten in the third-place matchup in the Egyptian Super Cup by Ceramica Cleopatra in their last game. However, they have taken 20 points from nine matches in their domestic league this term (W6 D2 L1).
The hosts have been excellent at home in recent times, currently riding an eight-match win streak in all competitions, while having kept clean sheets in all but one of those games.
Meanwhile, Rivers United are set to feature in their first CAFCL proper and are also the first Nigerian team to qualify for this competition since Lobi Stars back in 2018-19.
The Pride of Rivers defeated Warri Wolves 2-1 last weekend and are unbeaten in their last six in all competitions, while sitting third in the NPFL with 23 points from 12 games (W6 D5 L1).
However, the visitors are not the best travellers, having only won one of their last 12 away matches across all competitions (D5 L6), dating back to late March.

Our Pyramids FC vs Rivers United Prediction
While Pyramids have lost their last two games ahead of this one, both those matches were on the road. At home, the Egyptian outfit is formidable, currently riding an eight-match win streak with seven clean sheets.
