Heartland FC vs Enugu Rangers Prediction: The Oriental Derby will end in a share of the spoils

The stage is set for the Oriental Derby as Heartland FC square off against Rangers International at the Dan Anyiam Stadium. The guests have earned bragging rights over their previous four meetings, and they’ll draw motivation from this remarkable run to see off an in-form Heartland Owerri tomorrow.

Heartland FC (10th)

Last five games: LWWWD

The Nazi Millionaire continue their resurgence in the league, marching here with a share of the spoils on the road against Kano Pillars. After a poor start to the season, coach Amuneke has improved his gameplay lately, heading here with four games without a defeat. More recently, they settled for a (2-2) share of the spoils against Kano Pillars on the road. They took the lead twice but were denied the maximum points as the hosts played their game plan right. 

They have picked up sixteen points from a combined thirty-six, scoring eleven and conceding eleven. Amuneke's men will be keen to extend their home unbeaten runs. 

Enugu Rangers (4th)

Last five matches: DDWDW

The defending champions are unbeaten over their previous five matches in the league. After scoring three goals, the hosts almost lost the lead as the guests responded twice in a (3-2) victory. Regardless of their recent run, Enugu Rangers have been below par this season, and it’s looking like they won’t be able to defend their title. 

Enugu Rangers are not the same team they were in the previous campaign; they’ve managed five wins over their last twelve matches. 

Fidelis Ikechukwu's men have won once, lost three, and drawn twice on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

In the last thirteen meetings, Enugu Rangers have won nine while Heartland Owerri have managed three wins and a game ending in a tie. Heartland Owerri have been at the top of their game lately, and they seem to be back on their feet after a poor start to the season. This is the perfect time for this Derby, as both teams have been pretty decent in recent games. 

Heartland Owerri have kept it simple on their ground over their last two home matches but they’ll have to be at their best to get anything from this game. The guests have won four consecutive meetings, and I think they stand a chance here. 

I think this Derby game will likely end in a share of the spoils for 3.10.

I think a BTTS might also surface here for 1.91.

We anticipate more goals after the break for 2.10.

Good luck!
