Rivers United vs Kwara United Prediction: Home team will win both halves

In this encounter for round three of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), Rivers United will take on Kwara United at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium. In the previous match, the home team prevailed against Remo Stars, and the away club, Kwara United, edged over Abia Warriors. 

Rivers United's first match of the season, which they played against Niger Tornadoes and which concluded 1-0, was a defeat for the team. Despite this, the home team was able to pull themselves together and win 2-0 over Remo Stars in their most recent match. The outcome of that fight was determined by goals scored by Oyowah and Okpe during that particular match. The home team, on the other hand, is favored to win this matchup, and it is reasonable to assume that they will assume leadership of the contest in order to improve their league standing and secure another victory.

Kwara United will enter this encounter as huge underdogs, but the away team will be hoping to pick up at least a point from this contest if they are able to compete. Kwara United's first match of the season was a defeat on the road against Katsina United, which was decided by a score of 1-0. Despite this, they prevailed over Abia Warriors thanks to a goal scored by Isaiah Ejeh in the 45th minute of the game. Kwara United will need to perform at their absolute best if they want to come away with all three points from this match, despite the fact that they will now be facing another significant opponent in the next one.

Two of the most recent five matches between these two teams were won by Rivers United, while just one was won by Kwara United. During the three previous encounters, the two teams played to a tie each time. Rivers United had nine goals scored for them in those matches, while Kwara United only had four goals scored for them.

Because I believe that Kwara United will be inspired by their recent league victory, I anticipate this match to be a difficult one. Rivers United, on the other hand, possesses a strong roster full of talented players, and if they can successfully carry out their game plan, I have little doubt that they will emerge victorious from this match.
