Rivers United vs Sunshine Stars: Time and Where to Watch the holders look to avoid potential banana peel

The Pride of Rivers begin the final phase of their title defense with a clash against surprise package Sunshine Stars in the NPFL Super 6.

This particular encounter is the second of the day inside the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Saturday.

Rivers United are looking to become the first team in recent years to defend their NPFL crown successfully.

It will be a great feat for Stanley Eguma and his coaching crew and they will be looking to get off the mark with all three points against their first opponents, Sunshine Stars.

Sunshine Stars surprised everyone by qualifying for the Super 6 and that on its own is a remarkable achievement for a club that battled relegation last season.

While they were not the bookers’ favourite to make the NPFL Super 6, the Stars are here in Lagos to shine and also have their sights set on the title

Therefore, the defending champions must be careful with the Akure Gunners who have the tools and potential to derail their quest to retain the NPFL title.

United and the Stars will take to the Mobolaji Johnson pitch at Onikan at 4 pm Nigerian time after Enyimba and Remo Stars would have gotten the NPFL Super 6 off the mark.

This fixture will be live on DsTV via SuperSport with additional updates from the Pulse Sports Nigeria social media platforms on Twitter and Facebook.

Sunshine Stars lead Rivers United head-to-head in this fixture. The Gunners have won six compared to two for United in the previous 14 meetings between them.
