Rivers United have begun preparations for their next Nigeria Premier Football League assignment, with the Pride of Rivers determined to extend their impressive unbeaten run when they travel to Aba.
The Port Harcourt club, one of the early pace-setters in the 2026/27 NPFL season, have made their ambitions clear ahead of the fixture, declaring their intention to fight for maximum points on the road.
In a message shared on the club’s social media platforms, Rivers United expressed confidence in their current form and defensive solidity.
“The Pride of Rivers is heading to Aba and we’re not going there to make up the numbers. Unbeaten. Solid at the back. Hungry for the 3 points,” the club stated.
The statement reflects the confidence within the camp after a strong start to the campaign. Rivers United have established themselves as one of the most difficult teams to beat this season, combining defensive discipline with consistent performances.
Their upcoming trip to Aba is expected to provide another stern examination of their credentials as they seek to maintain momentum in the title race.
With five days remaining before kick-off, attention has turned to preparation, recovery and fine-tuning tactics for what is expected to be a fiercely contested encounter.
An unbeaten record remains one of Rivers United’s biggest achievements so far this season, and preserving that run will be a major objective as they head into another challenging fixture away from home.
For the Pride of Rivers, the mission is straightforward: continue their impressive form, remain difficult to break down and return from Aba with a positive result.
As the countdown continues, Rivers United have already sent a strong message to supporters and rivals alike—they are travelling with ambition, confidence and a clear target of securing all three points.
