Having gone four matches without a win, troubled Rivers United FC will now be guests in Umuahia for their rescheduled 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match against Abia Warriors Football Club.
Both clubs will lock horns at the Umuahia Township Stadium for the last away rescheduled match of the Pride of Rivers.
Recall that Rivers United won the first leg 2-1 at the Adokiye Aniesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, and the Pride of Abia say they are determined to have their pound of flesh in Umuahia tomorrow.
Abia Warriors assistant coach, Igwe Madubuike, is optimistic that the Umuahia lads will emerge victorious at the end of the encounter.
"We should expect the same result (home win) from the lads. I know we have prepared them, and we have told them what to do, and we expect it to yield a positive result."
His optimism was echoed by the team captain, Augustine Njoku, while speaking with the club's media.
"We will give the fans nothing short of victory come Wednesday...", the former national U-20 wing-back said.
The match takes place on Wednesday, 15th May 2024, at the Umuahia Township Stadium. Kickoff time is 4pm.
For the important match, Abia Warriors FC's Daniel Ijeh is the only injury concern, while Daniel Wotlai, Samson Obi, and Meme Okike are back from injury.
