Expert Betting Tips

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!
