2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 6 Rescheduled: Oriental Derby Preview – Abia Warriors Ready for Rangers Challenge

Posted : 09 October 2025

After their impressive victory over Kwara United in Ilorin, Abia Warriors have turned their attention to the rescheduled Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) fixture against their Oriental rivals, Rangers International of Enugu, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.

 

The Warriors have arrived in Enugu for the all-important clash, and the Umuahia side will look to consolidate their rising form in the league.

 

The encounter promises to be both exciting and intriguing, particularly since the Warriors’ coach, Imama Amapakabo, won the NPFL title with Rangers in 2016.

 

The match will also mark a reunion between Emeka Obioma of Abia Warriors and Godwin Obaje, now with Rangers International. Both players previously had nearly 30 goal involvements for Abia Warriors under Amapakabo during his first spell as Warriors coach in the 2020/2021 season, with both finishing that season in double figures.

 

So far in the league, Abia Warriors have averaged 0.8 goals scored and 0.3 goals conceded per game, while the Flying Antelopes have averaged 0.3 goals scored and 0.3 goals conceded.

 

Abia Warriors currently sit 3rd on the league table with 12 points from six games, whereas Rangers occupy 13th position with eight points after the same number of matches.

  • 19/02/25 – Abia Warriors 1-0 Rangers International
