Watanga FC vs Rivers United Prediction: Rivers United will progress to the next phase

The Nigerian Professional League winners will visit the Liberian colossus at the Samuel K. Doe Stadium on Sunday. The home side are new in the competition after winning the Liberian Championship for the first time, while the visitors will strive to move past the group phase this time.

Watanga FC (Liberia)

The hosts have a three-goal deficit to clear when they face Rivers United tomorrow. It's going to be a long day in Liberia; however, anything can happen.

The Liberian giants won the title for the first time last season and secured the title with forty-two points in twenty-two games. They are fresh in this competition; however, they are an exciting team with players that can hurt teams.

Rivers United (Nigeria)

The visitors recorded a (3-0) win in Nigeria; however, they need to be very wary of the home side.

The Pride of Rivers were crowned the champions after wrapping the season with seventy-seven points. They were formidable in all their matches last season and won with a seven-point lead at the top.

They racked up twenty-two points away from home in the division in one of the best records in the history of the tournament.

The last time they were in this competition was in 2017; after winning the first round, they were knocked out by Sudan's Al-Merrikh 4–3 on aggregate.
