Preview: Enyimba/Bullets, Rangers/APR Enyimba will have nothing to worry about at the back, with Enyeama in goal. Nwanerri and Okonkwo’s return from South Africa is a morale booster while Anumunu and Nwanna will be looking for the goals to shoot Bullets out of Aba.
The duo will also be in the thick of action at the Aba stadium and will be looking forward to stir an upset. Okechukwu Emordi, coach of the elephants told Nigeriasports.com that his boys will not underestimate the Malawians when both sides square up in Aba this afternoon. “We approach every game with the same purpose and focus. We are the defending champions and that put us under immense pressure. “It will not be big news if we beat Bullets but it will be bigger news if we lose. “We’ve prepared well for the game and the important thing is to complete the preparation by picking up the maximum points,” said Emordi Rangers set to halt giant killers Enugu Rangers will be facing the Patriotic Army of Rwanda (APR) in the Caf Confederation Cup at the Nnamdi Azikwe stadium without any form of pressure. Sam Okoye who had a brilliant game in the first leg will be looking for cover from the quartet of Law Uzoma, Oluwole Johnson, John Nnam and Austin Iyangbe. Igho Otegiri, Sam Ledor and Ebenezer Ojo alongside Ugo Okeke will be firing on all cylinders to bury APR. Meanwhile, Rangers will have to keep a close eye on Jimmy Gatete (picture right) who can cause havoc and has been in blistering form for both club and country.
Rangers lost the first leg 1-0 in Kigali but technical adviser of the flying antelopes, Lawrence Akpokona has assured of a resounding victory in the second leg. “They have a bunch of the national squad and that interprets their giant killers tag. “We understand what it takes at this stage and the boys understand this as well.
