2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 27: Rivers United coach, Finidi, set to dislodge Shooting Stars

Posted : 02 March 2025

As the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 27 showdown between second-placed Shooting Stars and third-placed Rivers United FC approaches, it will be a battle for control of the second position, with league leaders Remo Stars FC having established an unassailable lead at the top.


Meanwhile, Rivers United head coach Finidi George has set his sights on securing all three points in their upcoming clash against Shooting Stars SC of Ibadan.


The Pride of Rivers climbed to second place on the NPFL table after their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Katsina United on Friday.


Looking ahead, the former Super Eagles coach believes that Shooting Stars' consecutive away fixtures could work in Rivers United’s favor.


“It’s going to be a tough and intense game, but we are going there to win and take all three points. We’re not leaving anything to chance," Finidi stated.


“We have a 50-50 chance, and we must go for it. We can’t afford to let them take the points—we will give everything in this match.


"We know they have two away games coming up in the league, which could be an advantage for us. If we avoid defeat in Ibadan, it will be a big plus,” he added.


Head-to-Head
Since 2023, Shooting Stars and Rivers United have faced each other three times, with Shooting Stars winning once and no draws recorded. The Pride of Rivers will be looking to extend their dominance over their opponents.
