We return to the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday in a Nigeria Premier Football League matchday 17 tie aiming to bounce back to winning ways against Bayelsa United and rack up a 7th win in the abridged league season.
Both sides come into this one buoyed by recent league victories, with 4th placed Pride of Rivers overcoming Dakkada FC 1-0 while the Creek Boys were 2-1 better against Sunshine Stars in Yenagoa on Sunday to pull themselves into 8th position on the group B log.
WHAT OUR MANAGER SAY
Eguma: “It’s difficult as we had just a day to prepare for the game. It’s a South South derby and we know what we can expect from them and how we also can play. It is important we bounce back to winning ways”.
TEAM NEWS
Sochima Victor will be out of this encounter as he continues to serve out his suspension due to the Red card he received against Lobi Stars in Jos.
LAST MEETING
Bayelsa United 2-2 Rivers United
Chiamaka Madu and Malachi Ohawume both scored for us but it was Robert Mizo who pulled out a late equaliser to salvage a point for the host in Yenagoa on February 22.
