Kwara United v Rivers United @Kwara Sports Complex @4pm on May 1

The question still is-who will stop Rivers United’s charge to the NPFL title this season? Kwara United will try. The Kwara side boasts an excellent home form that has brought nine victories out of 12 outings, with no loss.

Kwara United’s form has been below average in their last five matches, in which they have picked up just three points, which includes two consecutive draws in Ilorin. Though they have scored 17 goals in Ilorin, conceding just five.

Stanley Eguma has reiterated that though his team is four points clear at the top of the table that there cannot be any complacency. “Like I will always say, it is not yet over. The league is a marathon,” Eguma told the official NPFL website. Another win on the road will move Rivers United closer to becoming champions.
