There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Rivers United leading Adamawa United by 10 points.
- Rivers United has the the best goal difference (+5) in Npfl
- Adamawa United has the fewest scored goals (2) in Npfl
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Npfl match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Kano Pillars.
Rivers United form and stats
Perfect Npfl season at home so far for Rivers United, who have the the best goal difference (+5) in Npfl, 3 wins from 3 appearances.
No payout for Rivers United in their previous match, an away game at Kano Pillars that ended in defeat 0-1.
Rivers are traveling soon after this match as the Npfl match at Katsina United awaits in three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Rivers's attacking play is working. Rivers United have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Adamawa United form and stats
It's not happening yet for Adamawa United on their Npfl travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Adamawa United's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Prior to that match, the Adamawa United manager faced defeat when travelling to Plateau United and losing 0-3.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Akwa United in just three days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Adamawa's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. The Adamawa manager has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
