Rangers chase vital points to Gombe

Rangers International of Enugu will this weekend be chasing its first win on the road as they tackle Doma United inside Pantami Stadium, Gombe.

After a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Akwa United in the first match of the second round of the season, the coach Fidelis Ilechukwu boys will look to build on that win to enhance their chances of finishing the season on a respectable position.

With the inclusion of six fresh talents in the squad, the coaching crew is poise to return to Enugu with the maximum points in this encounter with Doma United.

The match day 21 fixture will be the fifth top-flight encounter between both sides with Rangers enjoying an edge with three victories and a draw.

Though the duo of Kalu Nweke and Austin Onyemaechi as well as Isaac Saviour, Kenneth Igboke, David Chimezie, Chiedozie Okorie, and Ifeanyi Ogba would be missing this fixture due to injuries and card accumulations but coach Ilechukwu has quality replacements in like Philip Clement, Kazeem Ogunleye, Naziru Auwalu, Edeh Kelechi, Chidiebere Nwobodo and a host of others that are determined to get the result in Gombe.

Rangers pride itself as one of the two best attacking sides in the league this season with twenty-seven goals scored. In contrast, Doma United has scored nineteen goals in twenty matches played thus far.

This edge will spur the ‘Flying Antelopes’ into putting all on the table to annex its first win on the road.

Rangers captain, Chukwudi Nwaodu said: “Doma United are a good side and we respect them for all they have been able to do this season. But, we are in Gombe to fight for the maximum points. We are determined to get good results in this encounter to steady us for our set target.”
