Rangers vs Shooting Stars: Dining in Hell
A newly refurbished Cathedral will host its first game in two years as the Flying Antelopes welcome former manager Gbenga Ogunbote and his Stars to the coal city.
This match is important to both teams and will be a keenly contested encounter after both sides dropped points in the last matchday.
Form
While Rangers have a better form heading into the encounter, these two teams have endured difficult times this season.
Three defeats in the last five matches for both teams mean that the game at the Cathedral is one neither can afford to drop points.
But the Flying Antelopes are a hard nut to crack at home, as is the case in the NPFL while the Oluyole Warriors have a lot to be worried about their form away from home.
Prediction
Rangers are likely to take this one given their good record at home and with an expected return to the Cathedral, there is an extra motivation to go all out and perform.
Shooting Stars, however, will be hoping that former Antelope, Ogunbote, also known as the Oracle, will help them take advantage of the pressure that could come from the Rangers’ desire to impress on their return to a place that is truly home.
Betting Tip
Staking on the Rangers to win is the safest option, while also considering over 1.5 goals as a possible market.
