NPFL: Bendel Insurance host Kwara United in Benin

Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin, the current leaders of Group A in the Nigeria Premier Football League, are gearing up to host Kwara Utd in their Week 13 fixture.

Having been unable to secure outright victories in their last three games, Bendel Insurance FC are determined to claim the maximum three points at stake.

They drew 1-1 with Enyimba International FC in the second round action, followed by another 1-1 draw against Akwa Utd in Benin, and a third 1-1 draw with Plateau Utd in Jos last weekend.

With 26 points, Bendel Insurance FC currently sits at the top of the Group log, four points ahead of second-placed Akwa Utd, who have 22 points from the same 12 games.

Bendel Insurance FC are the only team in the current season to remain undefeated, and a win against Kwara Utd would brighten their chances of finishing at the top of their group and competing for the 2023 title and continental tickets.

In the current season’s opener in Uyo, Bendel Insurance FC surprised Akwa United with two unreplied goals from Imade Osarenkhoe and Sarki Ismael. Since then, they have remained unbeaten after twelve games.
