Matchday 18 in the NPFL brings us a tantalising top-half clash between Enugu Rangers and Shooting Stars at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Flying Antelopes are third in the league standings just one point and one place above the Stars. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

After a few poor results at the start of the season, Enugu Rangers are well into their stride now, currently unbeaten in their last 10 NPFL matches since mid-October (W4 D6 L0). 

In their last match, the Flying Antelopes played out a 0-0 draw with Katsina United, marking their fifth consecutive clean sheet in the top flight. 

The hosts are on a four-match winning streak at home and kept three clean sheets in that time, while they also scored two or more goals in three of those games. 

Meanwhile, Shooting Stars secured a 2-0 victory over Kano Pillars in their last match. That was their third win in a row - the longest active win streak in the top flight at present. 

Additionally, Stars’ maintained clean sheets in each of those matches, and their 13 goals conceded to date is the fourth-best record in the division. 

However, the visitors' major problem this term has been their away record, as they have lost six of eight on the road (W1 D1 L6) and failed to score in five of those matches.
