Finidi George has admitted Rivers United FC will be monitoring events in Lagos closely as the Nigeria Premier Football League title race heads into a dramatic final day showdown on Sunday.
The former Super Eagles coach believes Rivers United must first handle their own assignment against Katsina United FC in Port Harcourt before hoping results elsewhere swing in their favour.
Rivers United remain firmly in contention for the 2025/2026 NPFL title and could still emerge champions if they defeat Katsina United and league leaders Enugu Rangers either lose or drop points away to Ikorodu City FC at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.
The title battle has become one of the most intense in recent NPFL history, with the championship set to be decided on the final day under the regular league format for the first time in over a decade.
Rangers currently hold the advantage heading into Matchday 38 with a one point lead of 65 points against Rivers United’s 64 points in second place, but their trip to Lagos is widely viewed as one of the toughest fixtures of the season.
