Enugu Rangers, the reigning champions of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), will be looking to continue their home dominance over El-Kanemi Warriors in their opening match of the new season.

The Flying Antelopes will have the opportunity to extend their unbeaten streak against their visitors to nine consecutive matches when both sides meet at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Footballrover reports.
The Coal City side’s incredible home record might likely play a key factor in their success later today, as the Enugu team has consistently proven to be an impenetrable force at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
The Flying Antelopes have outscored their opponents by a staggering 16-0 margin in their nine previous meetings.
The stats are overwhelmingly in favour of Rangers. In their last nine home league meetings, they’ve emerged victorious every time, scoring 16 goals without conceding a single one.
This impressive record has left many wondering if El-Kanemi Warriors can finally break the jinx and secure their first away win against Rangers in the NPFL opener.
However, the numbers suggest otherwise.
Can the Warriors finally turn the tide and secure a historic win, or will Rangers continue their dominance? We’ll find out later today by 4:00pm.
It’s important to note that Rangers International conceded only 7 goals at home last season, tying for the best defensive record in the 2023/24 NPFL.
