This week’s matches of the Nigeria Proffesional Football League promises to be exciting with tough fixtures.
Top on the card is the oriental battle between Rangers International of Enugu and Heartland of Owerri on Sunday at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium, Enugu.
Heartland are currently third of the log with 26 points from 16 games in the League while the homers, who still basking in the euphoria of their qualification into the group stage of the CAF Confederations Cup, have so far gathered 21 points from 13 games.
Super Eagles and Rangers’ right back, Chibuzor Okonkwo, and some others players will attempt to stop their former club, Heartland, from scooping another away point when the fixture comes alive in Enugu.
Rangers’ Technical Adviser, Okey Emordi, is likely to stick to his squad that picked an away draw in Sfax against CS Sfaxien last weekend.
It will also be battle royale at the Enyimba Stadium in Aba when the former two-time African Champions welcome Sunshine Stars, just as Gombe United hosts Wikki Tourists, Kaduna United will slug it out Akwa United, Kwara United lock horns with Bayelsa United at the Ilorin Township Stadium.
The Dominic Iorfa-tutored Lobi Stars will entertain El-Kanemi of Maiduguri at the Kastina Ala Stadium, while relegation battling Sharks will be guests to Nasarawa United in Lafia.
Nembe City will battle ABS FC while Warri Wolves engage the Oluyole Warriors, 3SC of Ibadan, at the Warri City Stadium.
