Lobi Stars have shifted their focus to the Federation Cup as they travel to Abuja to play Cynosure FC in their Round of 32 contest at the Area 3 Stadium, Abuja.
The Pride of Rivers defeated Nigeria National League (NNL) outfit, FC One Rocket 5-3 on penalties in the previous round.
Mohammed Babaganaru’s side were pushed by One Rocket and needed a late equaliser to salvage a 2-2 draw before triumphing in the shootout.
Rivers United will be buoyed by their 1-0 win against Niger Tornadoes in the Nigeria Premier Football League last weekend.
The Makurdi club are overwhelming favourites to beat Cynosure.
