Bendel Insurance vs Enyimba Aba Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

Bendel Insurance will face off against the defending champions at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday. The home side will be keen to bounce back from their recent defeat on the road, but they’ll have to be at their best to get anything away from this encounter. 

Bendel Insurance (8th)

Last five games: DWLWL

The Benin Arsenal head here with a slim (1-0) defeat against Sporting Lagos. Since selling their two most influential players, Benjamin Tanimu and Ezekiel Tamara, Bendel Insurance will struggle without a proper replacement. They suffered another defeat on the road, failing to create meaningful chances. 

Benin Arsenal have picked up thirty points from a combined sixty. They have drawn twice and won eight games at home this season. 

Enyimba Aba (3rd)

Last five games: LLWLW

The People’s Elephant march here with a (1-0) victory over Shooting Stars on their ground. Enyimba Aba kept it simple even though they missed several goal-scoring opportunities. 

Finidi George's men have now lost seven times this season but are just a point below the league leaders. Enyimba Aba have picked up thirty-five points from a combined sixty this season, scoring twenty and conceding seventeen. 

Enyimba Aba have won three, lost six, and drawn a game away from home this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous six meetings, both teams have won once and four games ending in a share of the spoils. Bendel Insurance have sold two of three of their best players this season without replacement, and that will tell on them in the long run. They march here with a (1-0) defeat against Sporting Lagos on the road and will be determined to return to winning ways. On the other hand, Enyimba Aba have been underperforming on the road this season and are the only side with just a share of the spoils. However, I think the visitors won’t leave without a fight here, and we are trusting them to at least get a point here. Even though we believe the visitors won’t lose, this game will likely end in a tie for 3.32.

We expect the visitors to at least get a goal here for 1.83.

A halftime draw might surface here for 1.97.

Good luck!
