NPFL MD 5 Preview: Struggling Ifeanyi Ubah Play Host To Bottom Rockers Abia Warriors; As MFM FC Set For A Tough Tie Against Rangers At Soccer Temple

. By Omolagba Oluwayemi Imama Amapakabo face stern test against Ifeanyi Ubah as his 3 matches ultimatum starts with the South East derby. BSNsports.com.ng takes a look at the NPFL Matchday 5 fixtures between Ifeanyi Ubah and Abia Warriors at the Ifeanyi Ubah Stadium Nnewi and MFM FC and Rangers Int'l at the Agege Stadium in Lagos. Ifeanyi Ubah vs Abia Warriors No doubt Abia Warriors coach had faced rough start to the season losing all their opening four games and things could get messier if they fail to get a good result in Nnewi. 2016 Federations Cup Champions, Ifeanyi Ubah on their own have also not had a good start to the season. With 3 points from four games, the Anambra Warriors need a win against Abia Warriors on Sunday as anything short of that could see them drop further on the log. The head to head records favours Abia Warriors who have not lost to Ifeanyi Ubah in their last five fixtures in the NPFL. They have won 3 and drew the remaining 2. NPFL H2H (Last Five Games) Abia 2-1 Ubah 15 Jan, 2020 Abia 3-0 Ubah 9 May, 2019 Ubah 1-2 Abia 3 Feb, 2019 Ubah 1-1 Abia 11 Mar, 2018 Abia 0-0 Ubah 30 Jul, 2017. With both teams in dire need of this match, a lot of fire works is expected and I will advice the LMC keeps a close watch on this fixture. MFM FC vs Rangers Int'l At the Soccer Temple in Lagos MFM FC will welcome 2016 League Champions, Enugu Rangers. The Olukoya Boys were happy with the point they got on the road against Dakkada FC and will look to build on that as they aim to climb higher on the log. NPFL H2H (Last Five Games) MFM 0-0 Rangers 08 Mar, 2020 Rangers 0-1 MFM 17 Nov, 2019 Rangers 1-0 MFM 21 Apr, 2019 MFM 1-0 Rangers 23 Jan, 2019 Rangers 0-0 MFM 26 Apr, 2018. Although MFM have a better head to head record from their last five games, with a victory on the road already this season for Rangers, currently joint leader of the league, I expect them to give Tony Bolus lead side a big headache come Sunday but I expect the Lagos side to get the better of their opponent.
