Bendel Insurance vs Plateau United Prediction: Both teams will not struggle offensively

Bendel Insurance will play host to Plateau United in round 15 encounters of the Nigeria Professional Football League at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium. The previous time out, both teams ended on the losing end. Will there be a winner in this one? Below are match previews and betting opportunities. 

Bendel Insurance

Bendel Insurance suffered a defeat in their last league game against Nasarawa United and will hope for a win this time. Bendel Insurance conceded in the ninth minute in that encounter, with Victor Collins netting for their opponent. However, Meyiwa Oritseweyinmi levelled the score before the break for Bendel Insurance, but a second-half Kamal Adegoke strike denied them a point at full-time. Heading into this game, Bendel Insurance have suffered defeat in three of their last five games, while defeating Kwara United and Sunshine Stars.

Plateau United

Plateau United's last league game was against Akwa United, and this team suffered a defeat. In an encounter that ended 1-0, last minute Friday Apollos' strike was enough to deny Plateau United a point at full time. However, the visiting team has lost three recent games, coming against Kwara United and Kano Pillars, ending 2-0 and 2-1, respectively. In the meantime, Plateau United's lone win in recent games came against Nasarawa United, while they drew Rangers International. This season, Plateau United have 15 points from 14 games, leaving them seated 16th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

Bendel Insurance have not been consistent or strong enough to compete this season and needs to do better. However, the visiting Plateau United's level of play consistently drops week in and week out and looks weak defensively. While the two teams have had troubles this season, there is a lot to improve on both ends of the field. I believe this is an open game for the two teams to grab, and with attacking play, I expect both teams to score. In the meantime, Plateau United have been a tough side to defeat, and while Bendel Insurance does not look solid enough, I expect this game to end in a 1-1 draw.
