Second-placed Rivers United will host 19th-placed Sunshine Stars in the Nigeria Premier Football League matchday 34 fixture on Sunday. The Pride of Rivers will aim to strengthen their bid for the title and a top-two finish with a win over the Akure Gunners. Let's take you through our prediction for the match.

Rivers United have a lot to play for heading into this match. The Port Harcourt-based side could close the gap on league leaders Remo Stars to four points and also strengthen their bid for a top-two finish with a win on Sunday. 

However, they have witnessed a sudden dip in form lately, losing three of their last four matches. This includes a 2-0 away league defeat against third-placed Abia Warriors in their last match. 

Notably,Finidi George’s side will enter this match off the back of low-scoring games. 11 of their last 13 matches have ended with under 2.5 goals, including their last five home games.

Sunshine Stars could move level on points with 17th-placed Katsina United with a win on Sunday. They ended their six-match winless streak with a 2-1 home win over ninth-placed Enyimba in their last game. However, Abubakar Bala’s side are winless in their last 14 away matches (D3, L11), with the last three ending with under 2.5 goals. Hence, our prediction for this match.
