Rivers United aim to break CAF CL winless streak in Zambia

Rivers United goalkeeper Osagie Onisodumeya has declared confidence that the Nigerian club can secure a crucial victory in their next CAF Champions League match. The Pride of Rivers face Power Dynamos of Zambia in a Matchday 3 fixture at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola next Saturday (January 24, 2026). The return leg is scheduled for the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo a week later on January 31.

Rivers United remain winless after two opening group matches, sitting bottom of their group. Onisodumeya emphasized his belief in positive results, stating: "Definitely we will get a good result in the game against Power Dynamos in Zambia next week. We will also beat them here in Uyo and move up on the group table."

The Nigerian side's group stage campaign has been challenging, with recent domestic league form also fluctuating. The CAF Champions League offers a crucial opportunity for redemption and progression. Victories in both legs could propel Rivers United toward knockout qualification.

Is the Rivers United squad and coaching staff equipped to execute this two-legged strategy effectively against Zambian opposition? What tactical adjustments might Finidi George implement to address their winless group stage form?
