Rivers United vs Ikorodu City Prediction: The Oga Boys will at least get a goal here

Rivers United will be keen to amass all the points when they face off against Ikorodu City at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday. The home side have been unstable lately, and this isn’t the game where they put a foot wrong as they’ll strive to reduce the deficit at the top of the log. 

Rivers United (2nd)

Last five games: DWDWW

The Pride of Rivers returned to where they belong on the log following their five consecutive games without a loss. Finidi George's men head here with a back-to-back win against El Kanemi Warriors and Niger Tornadoes. Rivers United became the only side to have defeated El Kanemi Warriors on their ground this season, as they scored twice while conceding once. It hasn’t been a smooth sail for them, but they have been fighting in all games. 

Rivers United have won thirteen lost six, and drawn ten over their last twenty-nine games to the campaign. Rivers United presently occupy the second spot on the log, picking up forty-nine points from a combined eighty-seven. 

Rivers United have won ten games lost once, and drawn three games over their last fourteen home games this season. 

Ikorodu City (4th)

Last five games: WLWWD

Nurudeen Aweroro's men are gunning for a top-four finish this campaign, as they have now gone three games without a loss. More recently, Ikorodu City settled for a share of the spoils against Enyimba Aba on their ground. The end-to-end game was one of the most entertaining games of the season, as both teams scored two goals apiece. This was after they stunned Lobi Stars away from home, scoring once and defending the lead like their lives depended on it. 

The Lagos-based team and newly promoted Ikorodu City are gradually adapting to their new environment as they sit in the fourth spot on the log. They have picked up forty-five points from a combined eighty-seven and are four points from playing CAF Champions League football next season. 

They have won twice, drawn four, and lost eight over their previous fourteen away matches. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous two meetings, both teams have won a game apiece. Finidi George's men are back to where they belong on the log following their hard-fought victory over El Kanemi Warriors. They’ll return to their home turf, where they have scored just a goal each in three consecutive matches. It might not be the same against the attacking Ikorodu City side, as they’ll test their defense several times tomorrow. 

Both teams have everything to play for, but as usual, it’ll be unwise to bet against the home side in this competition. Rivers United are the favorite against Ikorodu City United, but they must be careful against them; bet on BTTS for 3.20 at (Betway).

For a long time now, Rivers United have been shaky on their ground, but I think they'll be at the top of their game this time and might likely get a halftime win for 1.93 at (Bet365)

I also think this game will produce more than two goals for 2.30 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
