Enugu Rangers vs Shooting Stars Prediction: This highly anticipated fixture will end in the hosts’ favor

Rangers International will hope to maintain their unbeaten run when they face off against Shooting Stars at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium on Sunday. The defending champions have not been impressive in front of goal but have been solid defensively, and they’ll be keen to secure all the points against a tough opponent.

Fidelis Ikechukwu's men have produced some beautiful results this season, but their recent stalemate against Katsina United isn’t exempted. Rangers International continued their decent display away from home as they have now gone six games without a defeat. This is simply a potential champions movement; avoid a loss on the road and ensure they win at home. They settled for a share of the spoils against Katsina United on the road, moving to third place on the log. 

The Flying Antelope have picked up twenty-eight points from a combined fifty-one, conceding ten and scoring seventeen.

Interesting Facts

Shooting Stars have scored first in six of their last seven league matches.

Enugu Rangers are unbeaten in their last ten league matches.

Over their previous twelve meetings, Enugu Rangers have won twice while Shooting Stars have recorded three wins and five games ending in a stalemate. 

Rangers International are on the longest unbeaten run in the league as they aim to defend their title. They currently sit in third place and are unbeaten over their last ten matches. They are without two of their key creators and we are not certain this game will produce lots of goals. 

Enugu Rangers will face off against a Shooting team who have won three consecutive matches in the league, and it’s not going to be a smooth sail. I’m backing the hosts to win and score less than three goals, as Shooting Stars have been poor away from home this campaign.

We expect this game to witness less than a goal as both teams will prioritize defense. 

Enugu Rangers might score before the break here for 1.95, as I expect them to get off to a flying start.

Good luck!
