Abia Warriors Host Rivers United in Crucial NPFL Clash After Four-Game Winless Run

Posted : 06 December 2025

Abia Warriors are set to welcome Rivers United to Umuahia this Sunday in a crucial Nigeria Premier Football League fixture, as they aim to return to winning ways after a four-game winless streak.

The Warriors have been flawless at home, not conceding a single goal this season at the Umuahia Township Stadium, though they drew their last two games at the same venue.

Their neighbours, Rivers United, have been in good form, but they face a tricky challenge in Umuahia. They have lost their last two games against the Warriors at the Umuahia Township Stadium, and the Warriors will look to maintain that streak.

It promises to be a tough, intriguing, and entertaining spectacle for the fans, given the pedigree of both sides, as the two Rivers State-born coaches, Imama Amapakabo and Finidi George, test their tactical prowess.

The Umuahia warlords have averaged 0.8 goals scored per game and 0.67 goals conceded, whereas the visitors have averaged 0.77 goals scored and 0.31 goals conceded.

After 15 games, Umu Chineke are in 6th position on the league table with 23 points, while the Pride of Rivers occupy 3rd place with 26 points from 13 games.
