Nigerian Afrobeats star Tems snubs NPFL for American MLS investment as a new owner with San Diego FC.
Stakes High for Both Teams
Enyimba, known as the People’s Elephant, have struggled recently, winning only one of their last eight matches across competitions, including back-to-back defeats in the NPFL.
The team's management, under Kanu's leadership, has faced heavy criticism for the poor run of form. A win against their former coach would be a much-needed boost for the home fans in Aba.

On the other hand, Finidi's Rivers United are also in search of points after securing just one victory in their last six outings.
Currently sitting third in the league, they still trail leaders Remo Stars by ten points and will be keen to keep their title hopes alive.
)
The match not only marks a reunion between two iconic players from Nigeria's golden generation but also highlights their relationship off the pitch.
Finidi previously led Enyimba to their historic ninth NPFL title under Kanu’s leadership and will be keen to show his former club what they are missing.
In terms of head-to-head records, Rivers United have enjoyed an advantage over Enyimba, winning six of the last ten encounters.
However, Enyimba made a statement in their last meeting at home with a commanding 4-1 victory.

What to Expect
As both teams prepare for this high-stakes clash, fans can anticipate an intense battle on the pitch.
For Enyimba, a win would help restore confidence and silence critics, while Rivers United aim to avoid another heavy defeat and keep their title aspirations alive.
)
This matchup not only represents a decisive moment in the NPFL season for both teams. But the key question, who will drop points again in Aba?
