2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 12: Top of the table clash as Remo Stars welcome Rivers United to Ikenne

Posted : 17 November 2024

Remo Stars FC of Ikenne will hope to extend their lead at the top of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) table when they welcome second-placed Rivers United FC on Sunday.


For the Sky Blue Stars, this will be an opportunity to consolidate their position, especially given Rivers United FC’s less-than-inspiring performance in recent league matches.

Considering the quality of both sides, however, the NPFL Match Day 12 fixture promises to be an electrifying encounter, as it is a top-of-the-table clash.


The battle for the league's top spot has been intense, with just one point separating the two teams. Remo Stars currently lead with 23 points, while Rivers United have 22 points.


Sunday’s match presents Remo Stars with an opportunity to extend their lead if they can capitalize on home advantage. Meanwhile, Rivers United will aim to reassert their title credentials, despite losing back-to-back matches in the past two weeks, following their impressive early-season run of nine unbeaten games.


Meanwhile, coach Finidi George acknowledges the significant challenge of securing a point on a pitch that has become a fortress for the home team. Anything less than a draw could put the former Super Eagles winger under serious pressure.


“We will regroup, assess where adjustments are needed, and get the players back on track. Sometimes, setbacks like this happen. We must refocus because we are facing Remo Stars next in the league,” Finidi said.


Remo Stars, however, will be without their head coach, Daniel Ogunmodede, who is currently with the Super Eagles in Uyo as they prepare for their final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Rwanda’s Amavubis.


Head-to-Head  
Since 2023, Remo Stars and Rivers United have faced each other three times, with Remo Stars winning once, Rivers United winning once, and one match ending in a draw.
