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

Rangers International will hope to secure back-to-back wins when they face off against Niger Tornadoes Stars at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium on Saturday. The defending champions have not been impressive in front of goal lately but have been solid defensively, and they’ll be keen to secure all the points against a tough opponent. 

Enugu Rangers (3rd)

Last five games: DWDLW

Fidelis Ikechukwu's men returned home with the maximum points, defeating Niger Tornadoes. It was one of their best games so far this season, especially on the road, as their 33rd-minute goal was all they needed to record their second away win of the campaign. 

The defending champions, who were still missing key players on international duties, responded positively after their shocking (0-1) loss at home against Shooting Stars. Rangers International continued their decent display away from home as they have now gone seven games without a defeat. This is simply a potential champions movement; avoid a loss on the road and ensure they win at home. 

The Flying Antelope have picked up thirty-one points from a combined fifty-seven, conceding eleven and scoring eighteen.  

Enugu Rangers have struggled at home and have managed six wins lost twice, and drawn once over their last nine matches at home. 

Niger Tornadoes (10th)

Last five games: WLWLL

The Ikon Allah Boys dropped to tenth on the League Table following their back-to-back losses. Niger Tornadoes were stunned on their home turf by the defending champions, conceding once without a response against their opponent. Before the game, Niger Tornadoes, who have been inconsistent this season, bowed to a (2-1) defeat on the road against Kano Pillars. 

Niger Tornadoes have picked up twenty-four points from a combined fifty-seven, scoring twenty and conceding twenty-one. 

Niger Tornadoes have struggled on the road lately, and we think they’ll approach this game with utmost urgency.

Expert Betting Tips

Rangers International head here after their emphatic (1-0) victory over Niger Tornadoes on the road. They’ll begin the second stanza of the campaign with the aim of assuming the top spot on the log.

Enugu Rangers will face off against a Niger Tornadoes team who have scored at least once in six of their last seven away games.

We expect this game to witness more than a goal as both teams will prioritize attack for 2.60 at (Bet265).

Enugu Rangers might score before the break here for 1.95 at (1xbet), as I expect them to get off to a flying start.
