A thrilling clash is expected to take place as Rivers United desperately aim to secure their first win of the 2025/26 Nigerian Premier League when they host a determined Kwara United side at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

These two sides have faced each other 17 times in the past. Out of that, Rivers United have won five games, and Kwara United have come out on top on four occasions. In their last five meetings, Kwara United have won twice, while Rivers United have secured only one win. Their most recent game took place earlier in August (2025), when Kwara United was able to clinch a 1-0 win. The recent encounters between these two sides have often been cagey encounters, with three of their last five games only fetching one single goal.

Rivers United are determined to keep pushing in the Nigerian Premier League title race, but they have not had the most dominant of starts to the new campaign. After finishing second in the table in the 2024/25 season, their 2025/26 Nigerian league campaign started with a frustrating draw, as they are currently in eighth place in the table with one point, and actually only have two wins in their last five matches.

Even though Kwara United were only able to secure a 14th-place finish in the 2024/25 Nigerian Premier League, they are aiming to compete at a much higher level this time around. They have had a shaky start to the campaign as well, having picked up one point from the opening game and being in 14th place in the table, as they will be looking to get into winning ways at the title contenders' expense.

Finidi George is pretty fortunate to have a fully fit Rivers United squad available right now, and there are no injuries plaguing his players. However, he will be missing defender Temple Emekayi, after he got sent off in the last game. George will be urging his side to be more clinical in taking up their chances against Kwara United and produce a more proactive performance to get a big win in front of the home fans.

Tunde Sanni is going to be missing some important first-team players for this upcoming clash. That is because Saheed Olaniyi and Akanni Akeem are both injured for the upcoming game, which will cause Sanni to make key changes to his set-up. He'll need his side to produce a gritty performance by being sturdy defensively and clinical on the counter-attacks to get a big win and gain some much-needed momentum on their side.
