Sunshine Stars vs Enugu Rangers Prediction: Akure Gunners will struggle against the guests here

Sunshine Stars will face off against Enugu Rangers at the Akure Township Stadium on Saturday. The Akure Gunners are unbeaten at home for two seasons, while the visitors are one of the toughest sides to play against on the road. The hosts have managed just a win on their ground over their previous seven meetings against Enugu Rangers and must be at their best to take anything away from this fixture.

Sunshine Stars

Last five games: WLDWL

Akure Gunners suffered their second defeat of the season, conceding twice against Kano Pillars on the road—a devastating defeat marred by an Ogbu Ogechukwu red card. Sunshine Stars were nowhere near their best as Kano Pillars overwhelmed them even though the hosts missed a spot kick. This was after their deserved (1-2) victory over Akwa United on the road. 

Sunshine Stars have won twice, drawn once, and lost two games this season. They have picked up seven points from a combined fifteen, scoring five and conceding four.

Sunshine Stars have been unbeaten on their ground for two seasons now, and they’ll be keen to maintain such a record this time. 

Enugu Rangers

Last five matches: DWLWW

Rangers International have now recorded back-to-back wins since their (2-1) defeat against a solid Remo Starswins. Both games were against Bayelsa United and Abia Warriors on their home turf. Also, they have struggled to score goals in these games, finding the back of the net once in their last two matches even though they created loads of chances. 

Enugu Rangers are still the same team they were in the previous campaign; they’ve been grinding out results even though they have not been at their best. 

Fidelis Ikechukwu's men have produced some beautiful performances in the previous matches, and we expect the same in this campaign. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Sunshine Stars have won four while Rangers International have recorded eight wins and seven games ending in a tie. Akure Gunners were below par in their recent defeat against Kano Pillars as they conceded twice against a formidable team. On the other hand, Rangers International maintained their two games unbeaten run on their home turf. 

Sunshine Stars will be poised to bounce back from their recent away loss; however, it’s not going to come on a platter of gold against the NFL Champions. Enugu Rangers have lost just once on the road against Sunshine Stars over their previous seven meetings. We anticipate a share of the spoils here, with the guests being the closest to securing the maximum points; bet on an away win or draw for 1.85.

We expect to a BTTS for 2.55.

Both teams might settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.87.

Good luck!
