The Pride of Rivers failed to take advantage of their ten-man opponent as they settled for a stalemate on their home turf. Rivers United conceded first, but Taofeek Olaniyi levelled minutes later. They surged forward to score after the break but were unable to break down the El Kanemi defence. 

The hosts, under their new coach, Finidi George, have been firing from all cylinders. They have won six and drawn three over their last nine starts to the campaign. Rivers United presently occupy the top spot on the log, picking up twenty-one points from a combined twenty-seven. 

Rivers United have won twice and drawn two matches on the road this campaign. 

Rivers United are one of the two teams without a defeat this season and they’ll be keen to maintain their momentum against an Ikorodu City side who have not been bad lately. Ikorodu City head here with a favourable performance on the road despite the defeat, and they have a tough test on their home turf tomorrow. 

Ikorodu City will be desperate to get their third home win against a well-organized opponent tomorrow, and it won’t be business as usual. 

Rivers United are too experienced to lose games of this calibre; bet on an away win or draw and BTTS for 3.15.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 2.20.

Good luck!
