The Sai Masu Gida have been impressive both at home and away, earning two wins and two draws during that stretch.
Rivers United, while formidable, have been less dominant at home this season, recording one defeat and one draw.
Their last home game, a narrow win over Abia Warriors, highlighted the team’s ongoing efforts to recover from a gruelling 10-game run earlier in the season.
Kano Pillars will rely on Ahmed Musa’s leadership and Rabiu Ali’s dead-ball prowess, with the latter having already scored six goals from set-pieces this season.
