In light of their disqualification from the President Confederation’s Cup, Rivers United is set to face the high-performing Remo Stars this Sunday at 4 PM.
Rivers United must execute a significant comeback against Remo Stars, as they currently find themselves just two points ahead of Abia Warriors and five points ahead of Shooting Stars. A failure to secure points in this match could jeopardize their chances of qualifying for international competition.
The recent loss to Rivers United, with a score of 2-1 in the President Federation Cup, has further complicated their situation. However, the team has enjoyed a commendable home record and aims to continue this trend. It is noteworthy that Rivers United remains undefeated in their last five home matches, achieving four victories and one draw.
Conversely, despite having a match in hand, Remo Stars will seek to maintain or extend their current eight-point lead. The team will need to address their away performance, having suffered three consecutive losses, the most recent being against Bendel Insurance, where a goal from Samuel Anakwe was insufficient to secure a favorable outcome for his teammates.
