Bendel Insurance vs Nasarawa United FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 04 October 2025

Bendel Insurance, who have managed just one win across their last six games, will be keen to amass all the points when they welcome a ruthless Nasarawa United at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday. The Benin Arsenal are in dire straits, and pressure will be on coach Greg Ikhenoba to deliver in front of the home fans in a difficult encounter.

The Benin Arsenal failed to recover from their loss against Bayelsa United, despite playing in front of their home supporters. Bendel Insurance were at the top of their game from the first minutes; unfortunately, they couldn't break the deadlock. The Benin Arsenal ran out of luck when Henry Onyia was shown a direct red card just before the first half. Even though they were reduced to ten men, they opened the scoreline from a spot kick. A few minutes later, Bayelsa United responded to split points away from home. The (1-1) share of the spoils was a fair one compared to the loss against Enyimba Aba. For the very third time this campaign, the Benin Arsenal have settled for a stalemate.

Benin Arsenal have picked up six points from a combined eighteen, scoring six and conceding eight. Bendel Insurance have drawn twice and won a game in front of their home supporters this season.

The Benin Arsenal will be without their strong full-back, Onyia, who received a direct red card against Bayelsa United. Coach Greg Ikhenoba will have to tweak his side in the absence of his strongest comrades.

The Northern-based side have been firing on all cylinders since the start of the season, as they currently sit comfortably at the top of the log. Nasarawa United picked up an impressive victory this time against Katsina United on their ground. They have been pretty decent, and they started off pretty remarkably in their recent, scoring just before the break. Of course, it was Anas Yusuf who broke the deadlock, and Abubakar Abdullai in a (2-0) victory over Katsina United.

The Solid Miners are the best team in the league this season so far, and coach Salisu Yusuf will be keen to maintain such momentum against their opponent tomorrow.

Nasarawa United have picked up thirteen points from a combined eighteen, scoring six and conceding twice. The Solid Miners have won once, drawn once, and lost a game across their last three games on the road.

Coach Salisu Yusuf has been very accurate with his selection and substitution lately, and he won't change it if it's not spoiled. There is no injury news as of the time of writing this.

Nasarawa Potential Lineup (4-3-3)

Godwin—Mubarak, Nduka, Ekioke, Abdullah—Unduka, John, Anus–Okorie, Ada, Garba Mohammed

Bendel Insurance vs Nasarawa United FC match prediction 04 October 2025

Nasarawa United are the best team in NPFL at the moment in terms of output and their defensive prowess. The Solid Miners have been consistent since their opening day loss against Niger Tornadoes; they have gone ahead, winning four of their last five games. Meanwhile, Bendel Insurance have been inconsistent, winning just once since the league began. They have also managed to keep a cleansheet across their previous seven NPFL games.

The guests are one of the most dangerous sides in the division, and knowing full well how porous the hosts' defence can be, I expect Nasarawa United to at least secure a point here. It's not going to come on a platter of gold as I expect Bendel Insurance to avoid another below-par performance. THE likely outcome here is a share of the spoils, but I expect goals in this encounter.

My match prediction is a BTTS for a coefficient of 2.51 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

My betting tip on this match is for this game to produce more goals after the break, for a coefficient of 2.17 on the Betway bookmaker.

My final betting tip is an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals with a coefficient of 3.50 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
