Rivers United will play Niger Tornadoes in round 28 of the NPFL at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium. Will there be a winner in this game? Below, I will analyze the two teams' run of matches and provide insightful possible betting options. 

Rivers United

Rivers United played Shooting Stars the previous time out and settled for a goalless draw. However, this team has gone unbeaten in three matches, drawing Akwa United in that run and defeating Katsina United. Ahead of this game, Rivers United have not lost their last seven matches, winning six and drawing two. This season, Rivers United have 43 points from 27 matches, leaving them seated second in the standings. 

Niger Tornadoes

Niger Tornadoes last league game was against Enyimba and they lost. In a 0-1 contest, Joseph Atule's strike in the 62nd minute was the difference, good enough to see their opponent take maximum points. However, prior encounters to that defeat saw this team pick up wins over Heartland of Owerri while drawing Lobi Stars. Ahead of this game, Niger Tornadoes have 37 points from 27 matches which saw them sit 11th, scoring 29 goals and conceding 31.
