Enugu Rangers vs El Kanemi Warriors Prediction: This highly anticipated fixture will end in the hosts’ favour

The stage is set for one of the most competitive league seasons as champions Enugu Rangers shake things up against El Kanemi Warriors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium on Saturday. The hosts have the advantage of maintaining their decent display on their ground against the newly promoted opposition. 

Rangers International secured another Premier League title last season in the most fashionable way, as they scored the most goals in the division. Enugu Rangers snatched the league title from Enyimba's watch after a terrible run towards the end of the season. 

Everything worked in the host's favour as they were crowned the champions in what happened to be a three-man race. Fidelis Ikechukwu's men have produced some beautiful performances in the previous season, and we expect the same in this campaign. 

The Flying Antelope advanced to the next round of the CAF Championship after their victory over US Zilimadjou.

The guests gained promotion to the division after their decent run in the second division. El Kanemi Warriors were given a lifetime opportunity after defeating Abia Warriors in the FA Cup a few weeks ago. The hosts returned to the continental tournament after thirty-two years without any appearances. However, they missed the chance to advance to the next round as they were eliminated by the Benin-based team in the qualifying round. 

El Kanemi Warriors had a fantastic season in the second division of the NPFL, and they’ll be keen to remain in the premier league this season. 

Over their previous seven meetings, Enugu Rangers have won four while El Kanemi Warriors have recorded two wins and a game ending in a stalemate. The guests were exceptional in the second division and were lucky to have won the FA Cup as well, but they will face off against the best attacking team in the league last season, and we think they’ll struggle here.

Rangers International will be keen to start strong as they’ll be occupied with lots of pressure trying to juggle three competitions. We expect the host to get a halftime victory here for 1.78.

A correct score of (3-0) might surface here for 6.70.

We expect to see more than two goals for 2.12.

Good luck!
