One of the remaining two unbeaten runs in the Nigerian Premier Football League could be ended this weekend. Unbeaten duo Enyimba and Rivers United face off in the seventh round of the league. We have a prediction for the match below.
A 1-1 draw at Ikorodu City last time out denied Enyimba the chance to go top of the standings. They will be hoping to do so on Sunday, even though leaders Nasarawa play before them.
Nasarawa have already frustrated Enyimba in holding them 0-0 at home in one of the matches where Enyimba dropped points. Enyimba have actually won just three of their last five league matches.
River United have a game in hand, orchestrated by their participation in the CAF Champions League. A win for them could alsoland them at the league summit, and this is what they will be gunning for.
Having finished second last season, Rivers will be going for the title this time. Three wins in their opening five matches go well with that intention, but they have to improve on a poor run away from home.
In their last 21 away matches in the league, Rivers only managed three wins. This season though, they are unbeaten on the road, drawing both matches. Across the 20 teams in the league, only eight have been able to win an away game so far.
