Lobi Stars captain and central defender Anthony Agbaji has predicted two unreplied goals and a victory against champions Enugu Rangers.

The Pride of Benue are hosts of the Flying Antelopes in Sunday’s top-flight matchday 27 clash at the Aper Aku Stadium in Makurdi.

The Makurdi landlords were benched 2-1 by the Coal City side in the first fixture clash in Enugu.

Agbaji said, though his side are not expecting a walkover clash from the Enugu outfit, they have done their homework well to ensure
victory in the match.

“The clash is going to be tough as reigning champions we will not underrate or assess them based on their current placement on the league log.

“Rangers have not performed badly in the second stanza of the ongoing top-flight, the same as us.
“We have worked very hard upon return from the futile campaign at Wikki Tourists in Bauchi aimed at winning the clash against Rangers and improving steadily on our position on the league log.

“We lost narrowly 1-2 to Rangers in Enugu our target is to beat them with at least two unreplied goals.

“The encounter is a-must-win game if we must still achieve something laudable for ourselves in the ongoing top-flight,” said the Lobi Stars strongman to supersport.com.

The Makurdi outfit are sixth on the 20-team top-flight log on 39 points, nine behind leaders Plateau United.
