Rivers United vs Abia Warriors Free Predictions by Football Whispers
You get the best Nigeria Professional League predictions right here at Football Whispers. After drawing 1-1 in the reverse fixture, the stage is set for another meeting between Rivers United and Abia Warriors in the second NPFL league encounter this season. Our best two picks for the game are:
Both teams to score
We expect both sides to find the net in this game. Despite losing all their last five away games, Abia Warriors found the net in four of those trips. It is a rare feat in the NPFL where teams seem to struggle away from home, especially in scoring goals. The visitors have scored 12 and leaked double as much in 16 trips. On the flip-side, Rivers United has the second best home record. They have netted 37 and leaked only 4 in 16 home games.
Over 2.5 goals
This will likely be a high scoring match between two teams that have nearly similar records against each other. The visitors have very slim chances of winning this game. The fact that Rivers are top of the league and the second-best home team is a good reason to back the hosts to score and also win the game.

Rivers United vs Abia Warriors NPLF Game Preview
Rivers look to extend their lead at the top to 10 points. And there wouldn’t have been a better time to do that than playing at home. The hosts have the second-best home run after 15 wins and 1 draw in 16 home assignments. 37 goals scored in 16 games by Rivers United translate to an average of 2.3 goals in every home game. So, backing the hosts to score and also win the game means they are likely to find the net at least twice and lead by at least a goal-margin. Rivers United has been strong defensively on home soil, conceding only four goals in 16 games.
On the flip-side, Abia Warriors managed to score against Rivers despite going down to ten men in the reverse game. Abia’s goal came in the first-half stoppage time; seven minutes are the red card to Valentine Odoh. With that, we think Abia will be hard to beat, save for a poor away performance that has seen the visitors win just one match in 16 trips.
