Anticipation is building as Rivers United of Nigeria welcome Power Dynamos of Zambia for a crucial CAF Champions League encounter on Sunday, February 1, 2026.
The match, scheduled to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, promises to be an exciting one, as both teams battle for maximum points.
Rivers United head into the fixture determined to make home advantage count. Playing on familiar turf and backed by their home fans, the Nigerian champions are expected to approach the game with intensity and purpose.
Power Dynamos, however, arrive with the intention of upsetting the Nigerian powerhouse this time.
Both teams have been unimpressive after three matches into the group stage. However, a win for either side will revive their continental campaign. Without victory, both teams will be hoping to record their first win of competition this afternoon.
Rivers United posses a bit of threat, winning two and drawing three of their last five games across competitions, while the Zambian club has one win, two defeats and two draws in their last five games.
With qualification points at stake and little room for error at this stage of the competition, the clash promises high intensity, strategic chess battles, and moments of drama.
In Group A, RS Berkane and Pyramids FC have taken absolute control, occupying first and second spot with seven points each, while Rivers United and Power Dynamos sit bottom with point each after three matches.
