Head-to-Head Overview
• Matches: 19

• Rangers Wins: 7
• Draws: 7

Warri Wolves prematch interviews
Warri Wolves captain, David Joseph has fired a warning shot ahead of the clash:
“We are returnees, not newbies.”
Head coach Napoleon Aluma also shared his expectations:
“We’re taking it one game at a time and looking forward to our second match which coincidentally is at home. By tradition, history favours Warri Wolves in this fixture and that is what we will do. We’ve got quality in every department and we hope to put smiles on the faces of our fans all over the world.”
What to expect
• Warri Wolves will rely on home support in Ozoro to upset the Flying Antelopes.
• Rangers, meanwhile, will be confident of extending their dominance, having won the last three meetings.
• Expect a fierce battle as both sides look to make an early statement in the NPFL season.
