Finidi stated that the primary aim is to secure victory in all their home matches. He emphasized that dropped points in home matches were responsible for the team's failure to clinch the title last season. This season, Rivers United has achieved this feat, winning all three matches played at their home ground. The Port Harcourt-based club is the only team that has managed to avoid defeat thus far. Finidi expressed cautious optimism about their prospects, acknowledging that while they are unsure if this strategy will lead to the league title, they are willing to attempt it.
