Rangers aim to widen gap at home

Rangers, the league leaders, will face Kwara United in Awka on Sunday in the Nigeria Premier Football League Matchday 12. The game kicks off at 4pm. The Flying Antelopes want to keep their lead at the top of the table.

Rangers have 21 points from 10 matches. They have scored 16 goals while conceding 10. After their CAF Champions League exit, they bounced back with a 1-1 draw against Rivers United last Sunday. They followed that up with a 1-0 win over Bendel Insurance in their rescheduled Matchday nine game on Wednesday.

To make the day special for fans, Rangers announced on Saturday that they will provide free buses. These buses will take supporters from the Rangers Camp in Enugu to the stadium in Awka. Fans are asked to gather at the camp by 12 noon. The club wants them to come out in large numbers for this important regional match.

On the other hand, Kwara United is in a tough spot. They sit 16th on the table with 12 points from 11 matches, having won three times. They have scored 12 goals but conceded 13. Last Sunday, they lost 2-1 to Bendel Insurance in Ilorin. Their recent form has been shaky, swinging between losses and wins.

Kwara can take some hope from the fact that the champions have allowed 10 goals this season. But they know Rangers are one of the best teams in the league. It is unlikely that Rangers will let up at home.

For Rangers, a win will help them stay at the top before the next games. For Kwara, a victory would be a huge boost in a season where they are still searching for their first real good run of form.
