One of the biggest games of the weekend in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) will take place at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri as Enugu Rangers face Heartland in the Oriental derby.
Heartland, playing on their home turf, have recently turned their season around, climbing to 10th place from a worrisome 17th. They’ll be looking to continue their resurgence against regional rivals, Enugu Rangers, who face a short 137-kilometer journey to Owerri for the match.
Despite Heartland’s recent resurgence under Coach Emmanuel Amuneke, Enugu Rangers’ manager, Fidelis Ilechukwu, who previously coached Heartland, remains unconcerned. Ilechukwu dismissed any notion that Heartland’s improved form poses a threat to his team.
