Rivers United, a prominent contender in the Nigeria Premier Football League, remains optimistic about their resurgence despite a recent setback against Sunshine Stars. Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The team, dubbed "The Pride of Rivers," faced a narrow 1-0 loss to the formidable Owena Waves in Akure last Sunday, extending their winless streak to four league games.
The poor run has led to the sacking of their manger, Stanley Eguma.
As their aspirations for a continental berth dwindle amidst the recent dip in form, Rivers United currently occupies the 11th spot on the NPFL table with 41 points, trailing by 12 points from a coveted continental position.
