Kano Pillars vs Enugu Rangers International Prediction & Betting Tips - NPFL Premier League

Prediction published on 11/03/2024, 11:00  by Daniel Ngulu in NPFL Premier League Prediction

Kano Pillars will have a chance to reignite their title campaign when they host Enugu Rangers in the Nigerian Premier League. The two sides sit four points apart, Enugu Rangers fourth and Kano Pillars sixth. The hosts have managed 37 points after 24 matches and here, they’ll be keen on ending a three-match winning run. In that period, they lost twice, but the most recent ended in a 1-1 draw away to Rivers United. To meet their targets as well, Kano Pillars may want to focus more on defending better. The team has gone without a clean sheet in the last 12 matches. On a more positive note though, they failed to score in just one of their last nine matches. Their ambitions for the season were further dented by a loss in their last home game. A 22-game undefeated run at home was finally ended by Abia Warriors in their most recent home match. This will not be a game they’d wish for at this point in time, having struggled against Enugu Rangers. In the last eight meetings with Enugu, Kano Pillars have one win only.

Enugu Rangers are eyeing top spot with a win in this game. They have so far managed 41 points, and sit two points below league leaders Lobi Stars. Coming into this game on a fine run, Enugu Rangers will be fired up for this game. They haven't lost any of their last six matches, winning five of them. Their most recent game, however, ended 0-0 against Kwara United, ending their five-game winning run. While it wasn’t the best result for them, they maintained a good defensive run, of six straight clean sheets. They now have seven clean sheets in total in the last 10 matches, and have lost just twice in 10. In their last 12 matches, Enugu Rangers have conceded just four goals. Only two sides have conceded less than Enugu Rangers this season, the Akwa based team having let in 20 goals. Their away form in the recent matches is a source of motivation as well. Enugu Rangers have posted straight wins in their last two away matches.
