Rivers United square off with Bayelsa United in a crunch Niger Delta Derby in the Nigeria Premier Football League on Sunday. The Pride of Rivers will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the season against Coach Monday Odigie's boys. Check out our prediction for the match below. 

Rivers United, along with Enyimba, are the only unbeaten teams in the Nigeria Premier Football League this season. The 2024-25 runners-up played out a goalless draw against Enyimba in their last outing to climb to third in the rankings with 12 points. 

They have won all three of their NPFL home matches this season and remain unbeaten in 16 NPFL matches in Port Harcourt dating back to last season.

After winning their opening two matches, Bayelsa United's fortunes in the Nigerian top flight have taken a downturn. They enter this match on the back of a five-match winless run. This includes a disappointing 1-1 draw at home against Ikorodu City in their last outing.

Coach Monday Odigie's boys have also found results hard to come by on the road. They have failed to win 15 of their 16 away NPFL matches since last season and have lost three of their four recent trips to face Rivers United in Port Harcourt.

Our Rivers United vs Bayelsa United Prediction

Rivers United are strongly in the race for the Nigerian top-flight title again after narrowly missing out last season. Finidi George's side have yet to taste defeat in their six matches and will look to maintain this impressive start. 

Conversely, Bayelsa United enter this off the back of a five-match winless run. Meanwhile, both teams' recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, mostly producing fewer than two goals. Our Rivers United vs Bayelsa United prediction is under 1.5 goals.
