Rivers United FC welcome Enyimba on Sunday, Dec 20 at 4:00 PM in a NPFL fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Rivers United FC come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Enyimba travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Rivers United FC lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Rivers United FC a slight edge, but Enyimba are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
