Sunday’s derby clash is between the most successful clubs in the Nigerian League. Rangers and Enyimba have seven league titles apiece.
Looking ahead into Sunday’s game, Rangers coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, who was a former coach with Enyimba, says he is keen to get a good result against his former employers. But he was quick to ask for a level playing ground. On his part, Enyimba coach, Usman Abd’Allah, whose side are on a 10-match unbeaten run, said he is only focused on picking one of the playoff spots and not keen on knocking Rangers off the top spot.Konan Ruffin of Rivers United inaerial challenge with Godwin Aguda of Rangers [PHOTO CREDIT: Enugu Rangers media]“The most important thing is that I only want to look at the fourth position of the table. The more Enyimba is far away from the team that is in the fourth position, the safer we are.
MFM are without a win in their last five games; losing three away games and settling for draws against Enyimba and Lobi Stars at home.
