Nasarawa United will be the guest at the Cathedral when Enugu Rangers host the Solid miners in one of the match day 22 Nigeria Professional Football League fixtures, a game which will be played behind closed doors.
Having lost their last game away to Abia Warriors, The flying Antelopes will want to make amends by taking Nasarawa United to the cleaners, a task Ranger’s Daniel Etor believes will not come easy.
The play maker cum attacker Daniel Etor said the game will definitely be a very tough one coupled to the fact that it is going to be a closed door game. I strongly believe in our team though it has not been smooth but we have no choice because the three points is what we will go for and we must win else we are going back to the relegation zone, we just have to win, he concluded.

Nasarawa United on the other hand will want to take advantage of Ranger’s current position on the league table to secure the full points on deck.
This is the best chance for us to win in Enugu but first we have to be disciplined and also respect our opponents else we will head back to Lafia empty handed, Coach Kabir Dogo said while addressing his wards immediately after a little shake up at the Cathedral.
Central defender Jide Williams is adamant that his side will pick the maximum points come game day. We are looking way past the Rangers game because we have our eyes set on winning the league and with all due respect Rangers will certainly not be a distraction, he also concluded.
Fortune Omoniwari’s goal cancelled out Douglas Achiv opener to end the first leg on a score draw while Obinna Nwobodo and Bobby Clement’s strikes were enough to gift the flying Antelopes the full points with Seun Sogbeson’s late effort amounting to nothing in the same fixture last season.
Rangers are currently on 15th on the log having accumulated a total of 26 points in 21 games while The Solid Miners as Nasarawa United are widely known have a total of 30 points from 21 games to stay 10th on the Nigeria Professional Football League table.
Players to watch includes Suraj Ayeleso, Adamu Hassan (Nasarawa United) Daniel Etor, Christian Madu (Rangers).
