The Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL matchday nine would be played on Saturday and Sunday. While the midweek fixtures recorded zero away wins but draws and home victories the weekend is expected to show class and respect.
Bendel Insurance continued their invincible season in the league having remained unbeaten in the last eight games played. Moreover, they aren’t 100 percent but the Bening Gunner can boast a 75 percent winning rate so far this season.
Can the Gunners gun the Elephants in Benin?
Bendel Insurance almost dropped points at home on Wednesday until Ebuka Akobunbu’s 68th minute strike gave them a lifeline against Nasarawa United. The Benin Gunners have faced tough sides so far but what may look like a more intensified one is the top table clash between Bendel Insurance and Enyimba in Benin.
The Finidi George-led side have been on a good form and a way to test their strength is for the Elephants to remain indefatigable against the high-powering Gunners.
Both teams have similar things in common, equal goals scored, 11 and conceded, five in their last eight games.
Meanwhile, the last time both teams met in the league, it ended in a barren draw. It means both teams are yet to defeat another in any competitive games.
Although, there might be a different perspective this time as Bendel Insurance can’t afford to drop any points at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium. But the Peoples Elephant who crushed Gombe United at the Pantami Stadium are highly motivated to repeat a similar feat.
