If match records were reliable and guaranteed, Rangers International of Enugu would have been assured of victory in the FA Cup final against Bendel Insurance of Benin.
Exciting FA Cup Final: Rangers vs. Insurance – Predicting the Winner
To provide some background, Rangers have participated in 12 FA Cup finals, emerging victorious on 6 occasions, while Insurance have only managed to win 3 times.
Interestingly, these two teams have faced each other twice in the FA Cup final, resulting in a tie. Insurance claimed victory in 1978, but Rangers got their revenge in 1981.
This encounter holds great significance as the CAF Confederation Cup ticket and a substantial monetary reward for reaching the group stage are at stake, fueling both sides with tremendous enthusiasm.
Will Insurance bottle the double?

Insurance will be desperate to compensate for their failure to win the NPFL Super Six in Lagos, especially considering their failure to secure a continental ticket.
On the other hand, Rangers will be determined to win the cup to make up for their disappointing performance in the abridged league season, narrowly avoiding relegation by a mere two points above Wikki Tourists.
On paper, Rangers may have the advantage since their players have had sufficient rest, in contrast to Insurance, who put up a spirited fight in the recently concluded Super Six championship last weekend.
As for my prediction, the city of Ikemba may once again celebrate a triumphant moment with the trophy.
