Enyimba vs Rivers United: Kick off time and Where to watch the top of the table clash

The 2023 NPFL Super 6 Playoffs come to a climax later tonight with the biggest game of the final matchday between Enyimba and Rivers United.

Enyimba and Rivers United go into this particular encounter with so much at stake. Both teams play for the title aware that any slip-up could be punished by Remo Stars.

However, the two teams would have known about Remo’s result before the title decider later in the day.

Separated by just goal difference, Enyimba and Rivers are joint-leaders in the NPFL Playoffs.

Both teams have eight points after two wins and two draws in the race for the title.

In their respective last outings, the two teams upped the ante a bit with two incredible wins.

The People’s Elephant looked comfortable and clinical after they dispatched Sunshine Stars with ease following a comprehensive 3-0 win.

Chijioke Mbaoma was the star of the show in the absence of star man, Chukwuemeka Obioma, who missed the game due to an injury.

Mbaoma netted a brace while Ikenna Cooper added the third goal to wrap things up for Finidi George’s men.

For defending champions United, they showed that it will take more than hard work to wrestle that title away from them with a brilliant win over Bendel Insurance.

The Pride of Rivers defeated Insurance 2-1 to end that incredible run of 21 matches without defeat for the Benin Arsenal.

Enyimba vs Rivers United will kick off at 7: 30 pm Nigerian time at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.

You can catch the game on SuperSport via DStv or the TNFF on YouTube, with further updates on Pulse Sports Nigeria.

It has been a close battle between these two in the last five matches in the NPFL.

But Rivers have maintained to have the edge with three wins compared to one for Enyimba.

Mbaoma - It is difficult to look beyond him for the People’s Elephant after that impressive display against Sunshine Stars.

The forward shone like a star in the absence of Obioma and has put himself in Finidi’s plan heading into the final game.

Ebube Duru - This encounter has always been tight and the Super Eagles man’s ability from setpieces could prove to be a huge difference maker in this game, that is if he is passed fit to play after picking up a knock the last time.
