Former Super Eagles stars, Finidi George and Emmanuel Amuneke

Rivers United and Heartland will clash in a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday two encounter on Saturday (today).

Former Super Eagles stars, Finidi George and Emmanuel Amuneke will be the centre of attraction in the encounter slated for the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt.

The duo were in the contest for the Super Eagles head coach job earlier this year, with Finidi getting the nod of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Finidi however left the post after two games to pitch tent with Rivers United.

Rivers United started the new season with a 0-0 draw with Bendel Insurance.

The Pride of Rivers fought hard to earn a share of the spoils from the game after goalkeeper Bamidele Adeniyi was sent off early in the second half.

Heartland lost 3-1 at home to oriental rivals Enyimba in their opening fixture of the season.
