Wike Pre-Season Tourney: Rivers Utd To Clash With Akwa Utd

It is going to be a clash of the United teams at the on-going Governor Wike pre-season football tournament as action enters Day six today. Rivers United and Akwa United are set to lock horns in the third fixture of the day in one of the much anticipated games of the tournament.
Though Coach Stanley Eguma of Rivers United has described the tournament as an exercise towards identifying and plugging loopholes in the team, today’s game affords him another opportunity to assert his teams credentials and take hold of proceedings in their group with victory.
Having lost and won one, respectively in the two matches played so far, Rivers United cannot afford to play second fiddle today. Coach Eguma must motivate his wards to show their true colour and build confidence going into the upcoming domestic and continental season.
For Akwa United, it’s another opportunity to test their opponents in the burgeoning rivalry between the two sides.
A victory for either side will see them overtake Lobi Stars and top their group.
Lobi is on five points after winning one and drawing two matches. Akwa United is currently on four points with a victory and a draw, while Rivers United has garnered three points. Others matches of the day will see Bayelsa United take on Udala FC by 9am.
