PREVIEW: Enyimba eye Rangers scalp

The defending champions are in dire need of victory to put their stuttering title defence back on track when their title rivals visit
Enyimba are in search of a crucial three points against visiting Enugu Rangers in Sunday's Nigeria Professional Football League encounter.

The Peoples’ Elephants have not been in convincing, losing three of their last five games in the league including last week’s disappointing loss against relegation-threatened Plateau United.

Paul Aigbogun’s men lie in 5th place on the log, seven points behind their opponents who are tied on points with Wikki Tourists at the summit of the table.

Rangers, on the other hand, are flying high and are only second on the log due to an inferior goal difference to Tourists.

The Flying Antelopes are in good form with three wins and two draws in their last five matches.
Imama Amapakabo’s side won the first leg of this tie 2-1 in Enugu back in March and head into this fixture full of confidence against an Enyimba side who are under massive pressure to claw their way back to title contention.
