Rivers United vs Dakkada Prediction: The home team will score more than once

Champions Rivers United will square off against Dakkada FC at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium on Sunday. The home side have had a terrible run of games and head here with just a win in their last six matches.

Last five games: DDWDD

With four draws in their last five games, Rivers United have been below par, and such results do not befit the current champions. More recently, they secured a point on the road against Niger Tornadoes. It’s obvious they’re suffering from complacency as they juggle the NPFL and CAF Confederation Cup. Rivers United are into the knockout stages of the CAF Confederation after playing out a (2-2) draw in Nigeria. Rivers United remain the best side in the league, and we are trusting them to win the group.

Rivers United have won four and drawn once at home this season.

Last three games: LLDLW

The visiting side head here following their victory against Wikki Tourist. Their second win in their last eleven games as they trail the league leader with three points.

It’s not sure Dakkada FC will make it out of the relegation zone, as teams above them have started picking up points.

Dakkada FC's only hope of securing points is always at home, and they have lost five while sharing the spoils once on the road this season.

Their last six meetings have seen Dakkada FC with two wins while Rivers United recorded four victories. The Pride of Rivers have the opportunity to leapfrog Lobi Stars at the top of the log, and we expect them to secure a halftime win here for 1.73.

The visitors stand no chance here; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals here for 2.25.

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

Good luck!
