2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 21 Preview: Rivers United Face Familiar Foes Remo Stars

Posted : 18 January 2026

Rivers United FC are set for a cagey encounter against perennial rivals and defending champions Remo Stars FC when both sides clash at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt, in a 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 21 fixture.

For the Pride of Rivers, the objective is clear—consolidate their grip on the summit of the NPFL standings. A victory could potentially open up a nine-point gap between them and second-placed Abia Warriors, further strengthening their title credentials.

The Finidi George–coached side currently sit top of the NPFL table with 38 points from 20 matches, recording 10 wins, eight draws, and just two defeats so far this season. Their consistency has made them one of the most formidable teams in the league.

In contrast, defending champions Remo Stars have endured a patchy 2025/2026 campaign, largely affected by their inability to play regularly in front of their home supporters. The Sky Blue Stars occupy 13th position on the table with 25 points and will be desperate to revive their season with a strong showing in Port Harcourt.

The rivalry between Rivers United and Remo Stars has grown in intensity in recent seasons, with both teams often competing for the same objectives at the top end of the table. Their meetings are typically tightly contested, with fine margins deciding the outcome.

Head-to-Head:

  • 22/08/2025: Remo Stars 1–1 Rivers United
  • 06/04/2025: Rivers United 1–0 Remo Stars
  • 17/11/2024: Remo Stars 0–0 Rivers United
  • 06/05/2024: Remo Stars 2–1 Rivers United
  • 12/10/2023: Rivers United 2–0 Remo Stars
  • 05/06/2023: Rivers United 2–2 Remo Stars
  • 22/05/2022: Rivers United 1–0 Remo Stars

With pride, points, and momentum on the line, Sunday’s encounter promises to be another gripping chapter in a fiercely competitive NPFL rivalry.
