Second-placed Rivers United host 12th-placed Wikki Tourist in this Nigeria Premier Football League round 17 fixture on Monday. The Pride of Rivers will look to strengthen their bid for the Nigerian top-flight title with a win against the Giant Elephant. Let's take you through our prediction for the match.
Rivers United came from a goal down in the first half to edge Plateau United 2-1 in Jos on Thursday. Defender Wisdom Ndon mistakenly got the ball into his own net in stopping-time to hand the visitors a shock win. That victory saw Rivers United move level on points with Nasarawa United at the top of the standings.
The Port Harcourt-based outfit are unbeaten in their last eight NPFL matches and have won their three most recent home fixtures. They have also won their last two home league meetings against Wikki Tourist.
Wikki Tourist drew 0-0 at home against third-placed Ikorodu City in their last game. That result extended their winless run to three matches, with just a three-point cushion from the relegation zone. Abba Muhammed's side are also struggling for results on the road. They have lost five of their last eight away NPFL fixtures (W1, D2).
