Rivers United (4th)

Last five games: DWDDW

With four draws in their last six games, Rivers United have been below par, and such results do not befit the current champions. They returned to winning ways when they scored just once against Dakkd FC. It’s obvious they’re suffering from complacency as they juggle the NPFL and CAF Confederation Cup. However, with the CAF Confederation out of the equation, we expect them to fully focus on retaining the league. Rivers United remains the league's best side, and we trust them to win the group.

Rivers United have won five and drawn once at home this season.

Bayelsa (6th)
