Rivers United will look to stay close to the top of the 2024-25 Nigeria Premier League table when they host mid-table Kwara United. This matchday 17 at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Igwuruta, on Sunday will see the Pride of Rivers start 2nd with 29 points and the Harmony Boys 13th with 20 points.
The home team lost 1-0 to Enugu Rangers in their last match, which was a minor hiccup on current form. They won only two of their last eight league games, drawing and losing three matches each. That hasn’t stopped them from being the best defensive unit of the division with only eight goals conceded.
Rivers United have a very impressive record at home and won six of their eight home league matches this season, drawing and losing just once each. Kwara starts this round two points above the bottom-four relegation zone teams and will be worried about their survival chances.
The visitors were beaten 1-0 by Lobi Stars in their last match, which was their second loss across three matches. That said, three wins from five matches is an indicator that they can bounce back here and get back to winning ways.
Their record on the road is dire as they need to improve their record of three losses across their last four away trips in the league. Can they bounce back here with a win? Such a result might be out of their reach, but their recent trips have been consistently throwing up under 2.5 goals, which could be the case here.
