Form and goals analysis

Rivers United have played 18 matches in our results archive between 12 Apr 2026 and 18 Oct 2026, most of them in the NPFL (Nigeria). They won 9, drew 8 and lost 1, scoring 32 goals and conceding 13 — 1.78 scored and 0.72 conceded per game.

At home they won 8 of 11 (73%) and averaged 2.27 goals a game; on the road it was 1 wins from 7 (14%) with 1.00 goals a game. That is a clear home-and-away split, and worth remembering before reading too much into an away fixture.

Both teams scored in 8 of their 18 matches (44%), and 8 (44%) finished with three or more goals. They kept 10 clean sheets (56%) and failed to score in 3 (17%). Their goal totals sit close to the middle of the range we see across all competitions.

Over their most recent 10 matches the record is 3 won, 7 drawn and 0 lost, with 14 goals for and 5 against (1.60 points per game). That is in line with their longer-run average of 1.94 points per game.

Our team-strength model rates Rivers United's attack at 1.37 and their defence at 0.56, where 1.00 is an average side in their competition and a lower defence number is better. The attack is well above average. The defence concedes clearly less than an average side. Against an average opponent the model expects them to score about 2.30 and concede about 0.48 goals in a home match. The ratings are refitted every night from the last 180 days of results, with recent matches weighted more heavily.

How these numbers are calculated

Every figure on this page comes from final scores (90 minutes, extra time excluded) stored in the PunterPick results archive, which covers every competition our data provider reports. Percentages are simple counts over the matches listed; nothing is estimated or filled in. The attack and defence ratings come from our own team-strength model, explained on the methodology page.
