Remo Stars and Rivers United will play today in the Nigerian Premier League.
Remo Stars
Remo Stars, who were long-time leaders of the table, now find themselves in second place in the Nigerian Professional Football League with 52 points after 31 rounds, trailing the league leader Enugu by 4 points. The team has shown inconsistent results, but the last five matches have brought improvement with two wins and two draws, helping to close the gap with the leader. In the last round, Remo Stars secured a convincing 3:0 victory over Niger Tornadoes, drawing closer to the leader by 4 points. They also played a 1:1 draw with Doma United and defeated Akwa 2:1 but suffered a 0:1 defeat against Plateau.
After losing 0:2 to Shooting Stars and securing a 1:0 victory over last season's champions Enyimba, as well as recording a 1:1 draw with Rivers United, Remo Stars demonstrate their ability to compete at the highest level. These results and the density at the top of the table make every point especially important as Remo Stars are only 3 points away from Plateau, who are in 6th place, with Enyimba, Shooting Stars, and Lobi Stars all within one or two points of each other.
Rivers United
Rivers United currently occupy the 13th place in the Nigerian Professional Football League and are just 3 points away from the relegation zone. Despite their position in the league table, the team has shown excellent results, achieving four consecutive victories in the last five matches, which is one of the best results in the league along with Shooting Stars from 4th place. Moreover, Rivers United boasts a solid defence, having conceded only 25 goals in 27 matches, making them one of the best defensive teams in the NPFL.
In their most recent match, Rivers United lost to Bayelsa United 1-2 on April 30th. Before this, the team had a winning streak: they defeated Katsina United 2:0 and league leader Enugu 2:0, both matches at home. A 3:1 victory over Plateau also added points to their tally. In international competitions - the CAF Confederation Cup - Rivers United lost 0:2 away to USM Algiers but won the home match 1-0, failing to advance to the semi-finals.
Head-to-head

Match prediction for Remo Stars - Rivers United
Rivers has been showing an incredibly strong performance lately, conceding only one goal in 4 victorious matches out of the last 5 NPFL matches; the loss to Bayelsa in the last round doesn't seem too alarming. Betting on a positive handicap for the visitors, Remo Stars has not been showing a consistent winning streak. Considering Rivers' dominance in recent personal meetings over the years.
