In today’s rescheduled Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) week 14 match against hosts Plateau United, Rivers United hopes to win handily and take the top spot. Nasarawa United, the current leaders, have 30 points and a +7 goal differential, while Rivers United, in third place with 28 points and a +6 goal differential. As a result, they would automatically push Nasarawa United out of the top spot with a better goal differential if they defeated Plateau United by at least two unanswered goals. The task of surpassing both Ikorodu City and Nasarawa United is made possible by the knowledge that Rivers United would still have an excellent game. For Plateau United to have any chance of finishing the first round above the red zone, they must avoid losing again.With 18 points coming into the game, Plateau United is in 17th place; but, if they defeat Rivers United, they would overtake Enyimba, who are currently in 13th place. However, Plateau United would remain among relegation-threatened teams Kano Pillars, Barau FC, and Kun Khalifat if they suffer another home loss.
