Rivers United vs Club Africain Prediction: The visitors can be deadly on the road

On Sunday, the former Nigerian Professional League winners will face off against Tunisian powerhouse Club Africain at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.

The Pride of Rivers were on fire in their opening game, scoring three times against Academica Lobito in Nigeria. Rivers United found the back of the net once before the break and got two goals in the second half to secure three points against the Angola-based team. Unfortunately, they lost their second game against Dreams FC in Ghana.

The home side were knocked out in the quarterfinals last season and are well-groomed in this tournament.

The visitors began their journey with a commanding performance against Dreams FC and followed it up with a (1-3) victory over Academica Lobito in Angola.

Club Africain are among the oldest and the most successful teams in the Tunisian Professional League. Club Africain are up and running in their league, with eight games without defeat this season.

Club African have lost just once in their last six matches since the season began.

Rivers United were in the same group as Club Africain in 2014 where the Tunisian giant won in both legs, scoring five while conceding once. Club Tunisian have won seven consecutive matches and are one of the sides tipped to win the CAF Confederation Cup this year. On the opposing end, Rivers United have not lost at home this season. We expect an open game here, with both sides getting a goal apiece for 2.20.

We expect both teams to settle for a halftime draw here for 1.90.

Rivers United are expected to get the first goal here for 1.83.

Good luck!
