After four consecutive shares of the spoils in the league, El Kanemi Warriors secured all the points against title contenders Enyimba Aba. Usman Abbas goal before the break was all they needed to secure all the points. The guests are one of the two teams without a defeat this campaign. They have been formidable since promotion, but have picked up eleven points from a combined twenty-one. El Kanemi Warriors have drawn five and won twice over their previous seven league matches.

They have been decent on the road, winning once and settling for three share of the spoils. 

Rivers United have won three, while Shooting Stars have recorded two victories and a game ending in a tie in their last six meetings. This is one of the most anticipated games of the round, as two unbeaten teams face each other. El Kanemi have really not tested themselves against a top opponent on the road this season, and this fixture will prove whether they’re a title pretender or contender.

Rivers United are experienced and are not moved by games of this caliber; we think they’ll win and score more than once for 1.65.

We also think the guests will likely get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.70.

This game will produce more than two goals for 1.95.

Good luck!
