NPFL Super 6: Wasteful Rivers United held by Lobi Stars in uninspiring game
The NPFL Super 6 had a day to forget on matchday 3 with the game between defending champions Rivers United and Lobi Stars summing it up.
The defending champions, Rivers, play their first early kick off game and will be looking to leapfrog Enyimba at the top of the table.
One win and two draws mean United sit second on the log with five points and will take on Bendel Insurance aware that another slip-up would be anemic to their title aspirations.
In their last outing against Lobi Stars, the Pride of Rivers created enough to have at least scored a goal but missed the chances en route to a goalless affair.
With unbeaten Insurance next up, Stanley Eguma and his champions know that the task ahead is a daunting one.
The Benin Arsenal have extended their incredible unbeaten run to 21 matches after that draw against Sunshine Stars.
However, they have now also gone six matches without a win having drawn their last six.
Insurance have three points from a possible nine in the Playoffs and will head into the game against United looking to get their first win of the NPFL Super 6.
