Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers set for Aiteo Cup showdown
Five-time Nigeria cup champions Enugu Rangers meet Kano Pillars in Wednesday's Aiteo Cup final at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, with the winner securing a spot in the 2019 CAF Confederation Cup.
The Flying Antelopes will be desperate to end their hoodoo and win their first cup in 35 years, but they have a recent track record of falling at the final hurdle, having been defeated finalists three times since the turn of the millennium.
Despite Pillars' dominance in the NPFL, notably over the past decade, Sai Masu Gida will play in only their second cup final in 27 years.
