NPFL: Rangers chase first away of the season to Benin

After securing three draws in eight games away from home, Rangers international of Enugu will feel it is time to get their first win on the road when they
face Bendel Insurance on Saturday at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin City.

After going on a three-match losing streak, the ‘Flying Antelopes’ have turned the difficult bend and are on the upward thrust with two home wins and a draw
on the road against league’s defending champions, Enyimba while age-long rivals, Insurance have made their home ground a fortress with the only glitch been
the 2-2 draw earned by Kwara United in November of last year.

Rangers pride itself as the second-best attacking side in the ongoing season having notched up twenty-one goals (ten more than their opponents) but a leaky
defense line that has been breached sixteen times as against eight by Insurance, makes this encounter mouth-watering coupled with added monetary incentive
coming from Rangers’ major shirt sponsor, Afrinvest.

A win on Saturday will move Rangers up to fifth on the log, for at least 24 hours while their host, Bendel Insurance will move fourth above Enyimba who host
Sporting Lagos on Sunday.

Bendel Insurance have won their last three games in the competition by 1-0 and will be contented with another 1-0 win on Saturday.
