Rivers United vs Akwa United Prediction: The home team is on a good run of performance

The Nigeria Professional Football League game between Rivers United and Akwa United will take place at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium. The bookies favor the home team to win. Despite coming off a poor run, can Akwa United take a point?

Rivers United are coming off a win over Enyimba International, a game that ended 2-0. Rivers United scored one goal in that game in each half, with Friday Ubong and Jackson Seiyefa netting for this team. With that win, Rivers United have three consecutive league wins, two others against Lobi Stars and Heartland of Owerri. This season, Rivers United remain unbeaten and sit second in the NPFL standings with ten points, six goals scored, and one conceded. 

Akwa United are coming off a defeat to Enyimba International and will look to do better here. In that game, Akwa United had 41 percent of the possession and attempted eight shots, failing to score any of the two that hit the target. However, that game made it the visiting team's fourth this season without a win. In the season's first three matches, this team lost to Sunshine Stars of Akure while settling for draws with Abia Warriors and Lobi Stars. 

Rivers United are undeniably going to take maximum points in this game, as I expect Akwa United to continue to struggle. With struggles and inability to win matches, being on the road will not be the chance for Akwa United to prove a point. While Rivers United have conceded only once this season, I expect them to keep their strong defense line intact, a game that should end 2-0.
