Rivers United will look to revive their title hopes this Sunday when they host Plateau United in the Nigerian Premier League. With 55 points in the bag, Rivers are second, nine points ahead of their visitors, who are eighth. Read on for our prediction of the match.
The past few matches haven’t been kind to Rivers’ title hopes; they’ve suffered four losses in their latest five outings. The most recent of them was a 2-0 reverse on Sunday, away to Warri Wolves.
That saw Rangers International leap above them in the league standings. In the remaining five games, Rivers will want to give more.
Fortunately, three of them will be at home, where they’ve only lost once in the league this season.
Plateau United are nine points adrift of the league leaders, and with five games to play, they are still in it mathematically. To be realistic, though, they should be able to finish in midtable.
To this game they carry a three-game unbeaten run, winning twice. They are coming off a 4-1 win against Ikorodu City but haven’t managed back-to-back wins in the last eight matches.
Away form hasn’t brought much positivity in recent outings; in the last four, they lost three. Plateau United have only won once in their last 16 away matches, losing 12.
