After surviving the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 29 scare against nine-time league winners in a match that ended in a 2-2 draw, league debutant Ikorodu City will take the next fight to Rivers United's home ground for the 2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 30 Super Sunday clash.
Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt will be on fire as continental ticket-seeking Rivers United roll up their sleeves against the slick Oga Boys, who defeated them in the first fixture in Ibadan while they were still leading the NPFL table.
This is a crucial fixture for both teams as they chase a continental spot. Rivers United, currently second on the table with 49 points, will welcome fourth-placed Ikorodu City, who trail them by five points.
With their NPFL status already secured for next season, Ikorodu City have now set their sights on finishing in the top three but face a stern test in Port Harcourt.
Rivers United are coming off a 2-1 victory over El-Kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri, while Ikorodu City also enjoyed success with a 2-0 win against Heartland.
Given Rivers United’s strong home form, they have the upper hand in this contest.
Head-to-Head
This is the second time both clubs will meet at the league level.
