Enyimba vs Bendel Insurance Prediction: The Elephants won’t lose at home

On Friday, Enyimba Aba will square off against Bendel Insurance at the Enyimba International Stadium. The defending champions have lost their last three games in all competitions this season and will be poised to bounce back against Benin Arsenal.

The Elephants had a fantastic season after winning the NPFL in Lagos. However, since the start of the season, they are yet to taste a victory. More recently, they bowed to a defeat to Gombe United away from home. The home side struck twice in both halves as Enyimba suffered fatigue from traveling.

Enyimba Aba were unbeaten at home last season, and we expect them to make the ground their refuge.

Bendel Insurance almost went a whole season without a defeat until their last two matches. Bendel Insurance had a fantastic season and won the FA Cup to secure the ticket to the CAF Confederation Cup tournament. The Benin Arsenal began their campaign with a convincing (2-0) victory over Shooting Stars. Bendel Insurance benefited from the opponents' own goal before the break and doubled it in the 78th minute courtesy of Evans Ogbonda.

Bendel Insurance have drawn their previous six games on the road, and we expect a strong performance from them here.

Over their previous five meetings, Bendel Insurance have won once and four games, ending in a share of the spoils. Enyimba head here after suffering a defeat away from home because It took them two days to get to Gombe, thus leaving some of the players with fatigue. We know that traveling by road for an extended period affects the muscles. On the other hand, Bendel Insurance won comfortably at home. Enyimba need to come up with a better approach to this game if they are to win here, as they have been poor against the Benin Arsenal since 2019. A share of the spoils is written all over the game, but we are trusting Enyimba to win or draw and score more than once for 1.70.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece for 2.64.

Enyimba International are expected to get the first three points here for 1.56.

Good luck!
