Rivers United will go into the final round of the Nigerian Premier Football League against Katsina United with their title hopes well intact. Placed second, they trail leaders Rangers by a point, while Katsina are eighth. Having collected 18 points from their last six home matches, it will be tough to think of a different prediction than a home win here.
Rivers brought out their fighting spirit last time out in their 3-2 away win at Wikki Tourist. Twice in the game, Rivers fell behind but rallied with two second-half goals to record just their third away win of the season.
Back at home, things should be easier, as they are unbeaten in seven while winning each of the last six.
Katsina made the most of their final home match, blanking promoted side Ikorodu City 4-1 for their 14th win of the season. They’ve hit 52 points, which is two more than last season’s tally, when they finished even lower, in 15th place.
By such standards, it has been a successful season for the visitors. They definitely hope for an even stronger finish, but their away form being a factor, this doesn’t look like it will end well for Katsina.
They are not just winless in the last four meetings with Rivers but have also lost five of their last eight matches on the road.
