Heartland FC’s technical adviser, Emmanuel Amuneke, has predicted a tough battle as his side takes on Rangers International in a President Federation Cup Round of 32 showdown. The two Oriental rivals previously played out a goalless draw at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri earlier this season. High Stakes for Both Teams With neither Heartland nor Rangers in contention for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title, the President Federation Cup presents a crucial opportunity to secure a continental ticket next season. Amuneke’s Mindset Ahead of the Clash The former Super Eagles star emphasized his team’s readiness for a fierce battle: “It’s just like any other game between the two teams. The only difference is that this is a cup competition where a winner must emerge after 90 minutes. “We know Rangers’ quality and respect their achievements, but we will give our best and see what God has in store for us.” With both teams boasting strong fan bases and a history of intense encounters, an exciting and competitive fixture is expected.
