Rivers United have won 14 of their 15 NPFL home matches against Enugu Rangers, drawing one. They host the defending champions in Round 11 of the 2026-27 season on Sunday, with our prediction going against the visitors.
Rivers United suffered their first NPFL defeat of the season following a 2–1 loss away to Bendel Insurance last week, with Jonathan James' 89th-minute strike separating the two sides after a pulsating contest. Despite that setback, the Pride of Rivers remain top of the league standings with 17 points and will look to tighten their grip on the top spot by returning to winning ways on Sunday.
They are unbeaten in their five NPFL home matches this season (W4, D1) and boast a remarkable 14–1–0 record across their 15 home league meetings with Enugu Rangers.
Enugu Rangers enter this match fresh off their heartbreaking CAF Champions League final qualifying round exit to MC Alger last week. The Flying Antelopes squandered a 2–0 advantage from the first leg against the Algerian champions before falling 3–0 in the second leg to crash out on a 3–2 aggregate.
They settled for a 2–2 draw against Barau on the road in their last NPFL match and have now failed to win three of their last four away matches across all competitions.
