Rivers United vs Shooting Stars Prediction: The hosts should tread carefully against the guests

After failing to win any of their recent away games, Rivers United will hope to make amends when they face off against Shooting Stars at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday. 

Rivers United (10th)

Last five games: LLWWL

The Pride of Rivers suffered another setback as they were beaten by Enyimba Aba on the road. The last time Rivers United won a game was in June against Sunshine Stars which affected their league position this campaign. They presently occupy the tenth place on the log, and there is no hope of playing continental football. They started the game perfectly with a goal in the sixteenth minute but had a terrible second half as the hosts scored three unanswered goals. 

Rivers United are on the verge of missing out on the CAF competition as they trail the 4th spot with nine points. It’s extremely strange to see Rivers in 10th place on the log after squandering their outstanding games.  

They have picked up forty-seven points this season and are five points above the relegation zone. Rivers United have drawn four and won thirteen games on their ground this season. 

Shooting Stars (4th)

Last five games: WLWDW

The Oluyole Warriors are confident of playing continental football next season, having lost one of their last seven matches in the league. Shooting Stars march here with a (4-0) victory over Abia Warriors at the Adamasingba Stadium. They scored four unanswered goals against their opponent and could have had more if they converted their chances. 

The result means Shooting Stars will retain their spot on the log after picking fifty-six points from their last thirty-four games in the division. Shooting Stars have won twice, drawn six, and lost nine of their previous seventeen away games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Rivers United have won three while Shooting Stars have recorded four victories over their last seven meetings. 

Rivers United have suffered some unfortunate defeats on the road lately, leaving them with no option but to amass all the points here. A team of their caliber can’t afford to play in the continental championship, and even though it might seem impossible, Rivers United will fight till the end. On the opposing end, Shooting Stars have been one of the most improved teams this season and they deserved their place on the log. They are dreaming of playing in the CAF Championship, and they must come off with at least a point here.

The home team are the favorite here, but we think the visitors will get a goal at least; bet on BTTS for 2.25.

We expect Rivers United to get off to a flying start and secure a halftime victory for 2.12.

We expect the hosts to win and score more than once for 1.78.

Good luck!
