Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rangers head coach, Abdul Maikaba said his team is in shape to nick the three points at stake against Sunshine Stars.<\/p>\n

The Coal City outfit travelled to Akure to take on Sunshine Stars in their match day 13 encounter at the Ondo Sports Complex on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Maikaba said his team is still pained with their first leg 1-1 draw in Enugu but expressed optimism that the Flying Antelopes will win this time around.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure, no two matches are the same but I have the strong belief that we shall emerge victorious in the game against Sunshine Stars,\u201d Maikaba told the club\u2019s media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that they made some mid-season recruitments and have been doing well since the start of the season including snatching a draw in our home fixture, but we are determined to get the result we desire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rangers are currently placed 7th on the Group B log with 13 points from 12 matches.<\/p>\n
