Rivers United, now managed by former Super Eagles wing wizard Finidi George, holds a slight edge in goals scored, with seven to Bayelsa’s six.
While Rivers United sits in second place on the table with 21 points, Bayelsa United is in a precarious 18th place with 10 points from 10 games, putting Technical Adviser Ladan Bosso under immense pressure.
His future with the team may hinge on the results of their next two matches, starting with the derby against Rivers United at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The Pride of Rivers had lost their unbeaten streak in NPFL Match Day 10 at the hands of Ikorodu City FC and will look to appease their fans by securing a straight win over the visiting Prosperity Boys, whose coach is currently under fire.
