Kano darling soccer team Pillars will Wednesday afternoon test Enugu Rangers fondly called flying antelope for size in continuation of the country’s top flight0.
The duel will feature two of the most brilliant tacticians in the local scene giving their lads instructions on how best to carry the day that is Maikaba on the Pillars side and Ilechukwu on the other.
The encounter is expected to be tough as all the sides are surely in need of the vital points as the competition has started reaching its peaks and unequivocally earning the maximum points will boost their standing.
Although none of them is facing relegation trouble as they are on the comfortable zone going by Rangers with forty one points and Pillars thirty six, but they all need to triple effort so as to be on the continental zone next year.
Pillars who last week lost to Abia Warriors at home but when to Portharcourt to almost beat Rivers United if not with the assistance of Referee who allowed a controversial goal to stand just some minutes to the end of the game have to do their utmost so as to replace the points lost at home in order to make their supporters euphoric advanced result of what transpired.
On the other hand the visitors will not stand akimbo to allow the home side whip them easily but will do their best in that direction as Kano has been their home since the days of defunct Raccah Rovers.
Thus as football is unpredictable, the outcome of the match in view of the performance of the duo will not be wide particularly at this period that method of officiating to some extend has vastly improved.
As we await the duel it is our ceaseless wish that spectators especially fans of the pyramid city lads will behave responsibly as eyes is now set on them.
While on the hand officials should try to be unbiased in their ruling as on most occasions troubles emanated due to lopsided officiating.
