A potential title decider looms as Rivers United visits the ‘Cathedral’, the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu to face Enugu Rangers on match day 34 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Sunday’s game is one of the biggest this season as both sides, firmly in the hunt for the NPFL title, are only separated by a solitary point in the upper rungs of the table.
Rivers United overcame a massive injury crisis to win the reverse fixture 3-1 at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt on May 1.
On that dramatic day, Christian Weli scored a contender for goal of the season that day, a fierce, dipping and swerving effort from 35 odds yards while Bernard Ovoke underlined his status as a man for the big occasion with a well taken brace with Gabriel Olalekan’s unfortunate own goal, early in the second half represented the Flying Antelopes’ consolation.
Things have changed massively five months on as United has now been completely transformed from relegation candidates (according to most bookmakers at the start of the season) to a side with genuine title ambitions.
Technical manager of the Port Harcourt club, Stanley Eguma however realizes that getting a positive result in Enugu will be no walk in the park.
The experienced trainer however believes that it can be accomplished.
“Matches involving Rivers United and Enugu Rangers are always big matches and this one will be no different.
“The two sides are both involved in the title race and I am sure it will be a fiercely-fought game.
“We will try to come back with the points on Sunday,” Eguma told Rivers United Media.
