Rivers United will take on El Kanemi Warriors in the ninth round of matches in the Nigerian Premier League. Ahead of the game, the hosts hold a two-point advantage over their closest challenger. Let’s look at the stats in this match pitting two unbeaten sides, then offer a prediction below.
This match will mark the seventh meeting between these two sides. Rivers won three times and El Kanemi Warriors twice. Notably, no away team has ever claimed a win in this fixture.
Rivers United look set to keep this record going as they are unbeaten in two straight matches against El Kanemi.
Unlike Rivers United, who have four wins and a draw in their last five matches, El Kanemi has four draws and a win. They needed a late equalizer to register a 1-1 draw with Kwara United last time out.
Risilanu Ismail’s stoppage time goal kept their undefeated run in the season going. From the eight league matches though, El Kanemi only managed two wins. They come into this game hoping to shock the league leaders and remain the only undefeated side.
It is hard to see where the motivation for that will emanate from as they face the best defensive side.

Our Rivers United vs El Kanemi Warriors Prediction
A low scoring game is expected here, going by the numbers these two sides have been recording. Rivers United’s eight matches have produced 13 goals, for and against. It means on average those were 1.625 goals scored.
While these two are the remaining undefeated teams, they do not make up for very entertaining matches with goals. The last six meetings between these teams produced 1.83 goals on average and we do not expect it any bigger. Our prediction for Rivers United v El Kanemi Warriors is for under 2.5 goals.
