Rangers head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu is expecting a difficult game against El-Kanemi Warriors.
The defending champions will begin the defence of their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title against the Maiduguri club at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu on Saturday (today).
The Coal City club are the favourites to take maximum points from the match going by the gulf in class between both teams.

Rangers have defeated El-kanemi Warriors in their last nine league meetings, scoring 16 goals without conceding.
Ilechukwu however said Aliyu Zubairu’s men will be a difficult opponent.
“It’s going to be a very tough match for both teams. El-Kanemi have a very strong team. I watched their games on the continent and you’d agree with me that they have a very strong team. We have our game plan,” the gaffer was quoted by the npfl.com.ng.
