Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rivers United will be without their goalkeeper, Victor Sochima when they take on Bayelsa United in the South-South derby at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt on Sunday (today).<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles invitee was sent off in the Pride of Rivers rescheduled matchday 11 fixture against Lobi Stars at the New Jos Stadium, Jos last month.<\/p>\n

He has already missed the clash against Dakkada on match day 14.<\/p>\n

Sochima has been in impressive form for the Stanley Egunma\u2019s side both in the Nigeria Premier Football League and during the CAF Confederation Cup before their ouster last week.<\/p>\n

Rivers United will hope to keep pressure on Lobi Stars who sit comfortably at the top of Group B.<\/p>\n

Rivers United are unbeaten at home this season in the NPFL.<\/p>\n
