USM Alger vs Rivers United Prediction & Betting Tips - Caf Confederation Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in Caf Confederation Cup Prediction
USM Alger will welcome Rivers United for their Confederations Cup quarterfinal return leg this Sunday. Heading into this game, Rivers United lead 1-0 from the first meeting in Nigeria. A 10th minute goal from Augustine Okejepha is what separates the two sides so far. That goal, and result stopped USM Alger’s winning run that had hit five straight games. The hosts will be looking to get back to winning ways, and will bank heavily on their defensive abilities. In their last six matches, they conceded just two goals. Their ability is also well depicted in the fact they failed to score in just two of their last 10 matches. One win only in four Confederations Cup matches could however be limiting. That hasn’t been the case at home though – the Algerian side has three straight wins in confederations Cup matches at home. In the last four matches at home in this competition, USM Alger kept three clean sheets.
Rivers United will be playing for at least a draw, to secure their place in the semi finals. Their home win gives them the upper hand but being a slim one may turn out to be detrimental. Their 1-0 victory was the second straight win for the Nigerian side and a third slim win in their last five games. Rivers have four wins in their last five meetings in this competition; none of them had a margin of more than a goal. That will not be their biggest concern coming into this game, as a win of any margin will do for them. What will worry them most is the fact that they have just one win in their last 17 away matches. The Nigerians have suffered defeat in seven of the last 10 away matches. They come into this game without a goal in three oif their last five away matches. Rivers United have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 away matches.
