Eighth-placed Rivers United host 15th-placed Shooting Stars in this 2025 Nigeria Premier Football League matchday four fixture on Sunday. Can the Pride of Rivers maintain their unbeaten start to the season against the Oluyole Warriors? Check out our prediction for the match below.
Rivers United recorded a strong start to their 2025 Nigeria Premier Football League campaign. They came away with an unexpected point from the Gateway Stadium, holding defending champions Remo Stars to a 1-1 draw in their first match.
Forward Ubong Friday's 22nd-minute goal was all they needed to secure the maximum three points in their second fixture against Kwara United. They also saved a crucial point away last weekend, holding El Kanemi Warriors to a goalless draw, and have won their five most recent home fixtures against Shooting Stars.
Shooting Stars suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Bayelsa United in their opening fixture. They are yet to win any of their three matches this season. This includes a 1-1 draw last weekend with Ikorodu City.
Nurudeen Aweroro's side have not won any of their last three encounters with Rivers United, losing two. They are also without a win in their last 10 away league matches.

Meanwhile, Rivers United are unbeaten this season and have won nine of their last 10 home matches, drawing one. We expect the Pride of Rivers to cruise to victory in this match. Our Rivers United vs Shooting Stars prediction is Rivers United win.
