The leadership of the Nigerian Premier League standings remains volatile, heading into Match Day 15. Rivers United will be keen to go back on top after their coming match against Kano Pillars. Read on for our prediction of this match.

With both coming off away matches, Rivers United will be glad to take their title challenge home. Even there, they will be seeking stability after winning just once in the last three matches.

Ahead of this game, they played to a 1-1 draw with Sunshine Stars for a third unbeaten outing. However, they have only one win in six matches, a run that has slowed their title challenge.

The last time Kano Pillars visited Rivers, they forced a 1-1 draw and thus come here unbeaten in the last two matches against Rivers. Before their performance in this fixture last season, Kano Pillars had suffered three straight losses to Rivers.

This being a fixture previously dominated by whichever team playing at home means Kano Pillars could be headed for another loss here. In seven away matches against Rivers, Kano Pillars lost five times.

Their fighting spirit can’t be faulted though. In their last two outings Kano Pillars came from behind to salvage 2-2 draws with Heartland and Lobi Stars. With those draws, they stretched their unbeaten run to four matches.
