Bayelsa United vs Rivers United FC Prediction: The Prosperity Boys will struggle against the guests

Bayelsa United will be keen to maintain their run of four games without a loss when they face off against Rivers United FC at the Samson Siasia Stadium on Wednesday. Dipreye Teibowei’s men have a stern test ahead of their clash against a side who have lost just once in four away games. 

Bayelsa United (15th)

Last five games: LWDWD

The Prosperity Boys secured a point against ENYIMBA ABA on the road. It was a pretty decent game where they leveled seconds after their opponent found the back of the net in the seventh minute of the game. After a stalemate in the first half, Bayelsa United defended well after the break to settle for a tie. This was after their slim (1-0) victory over Lobi Stars on their ground. 

Dipreye Teibowei’s men have been pretty decent lately, and they’ll be keen to extend their run tomorrow against their guests. They have picked up thirty-eight points from a combined ninety, scoring twenty-six and conceding twenty-eight. 

Bayelsa United have won eight, lost once, and drawn six over their previous fifteen home games. 

Rivers United (2nd)

Last five games: WDWWW

The Pride of Rivers are just three points off the top of the log after their run of six games without a loss. Rivers United struggled in their most recent game and had to wait till the 96th minute to find a winner against a stubborn Ikorodu City. The victory puts them in the pole position of challenging for the NPFL title, and a win here will further reduce the deficit at the apex of the table. 

Rivers United have won fourteen, lost six, and drawn ten over their last thirty league games to the campaign. Rivers United presently occupy the second spot on the log, picking up fifty-two points from a combined ninety. 

Rivers United have won three, lost five, and drawn seven on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Bayelsa United have won three, while Rivers United have recorded two victories and a game ending in a tie over their last six meetings. The Prosperity Boys have been at the top of their game lately, as they are now four points above the relegation zone. They’ll face off against a Rivers United team who are now undefeated in six consecutive matches. 

I’m not sure a winner will emerge here tomorrow, as the guests have been the best team on the road this campaign. I think both teams will be pleased to settle for a full-time stalemate here for 3.34 at (Bet365).

Bayelsa United hardly keep clean sheets on their home turf, and considering the guests hardly score, this game will be dicey. I have a feeling Rivers United would probably get at least a goal here for 1.87 at (Betway).

Rivers United FC might likely win or draw and score less than two goals here for 2.70 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
