Bendel Insurance vs Warri Wolves FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 01 November 2025

Bendel Insurance, who have managed just one win since the NPFL began, will be keen to amass all the points when they welcome a ruthless Warri Wolves at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday. The Benin Arsenal are in dire straits, but the return of former coach Kennedy Boboye might revive their sinking hopes, following his stalemate on the road against Kun Khalifat.

The Benin Arsenal ended their back-to-back losses with a stalemate on the road against a solid home team. Bendel Insurance, who named a strong side for the game, kicked off with great momentum and with just two minutes on the pitch, Kayode Oke broke the deadlock. Despite the goal, Bendel Insurance created more chances but couldn’t convert them, and in the 72nd minute, Kun Khalifat levelled. This was due to some lapses at the back as both teams settled for a share of the spoils. 

For the fifth consecutive game this campaign, the Benin Arsenal have failed to win a game, as their condition worsened.

Benin Arsenal have picked up seven points from a combined twenty-seven, scoring eight and conceding eleven. Bendel Insurance have drawn twice, won once and lost a game on their ground this season.

Last five games: LWDWW

After their struggles at the start of the campaign, the Seasiders are up on the table with two points behind the league leaders. Warri Wolves, who are now undefeated in their last four NPFL games, began the game in high spirits as their decent play was rewarded with a goal in the 14th minute. It looked like they were going to settle with just a goal until Evwierhurhoma scored the second of the day to secure his side a (2-0) victory over Bayelsa United. The Seasiders have also scored in their last five games, but there has been concern about their defensive side of the game. 

Warri Wolves have picked up seventeen points from a potential thirty points, finding the back of the net ten times and letting in seven goals.

Warri Wolves are very much experienced in the NPFL, and they have won three and lost twice on the road this season.

Bendel Insurance vs Warri Wolves FC Match Prediction, 01 November 2025

Warri Warriors United are one of the best teams in the NPFL at the moment, in terms of both output and defensive prowess. The Seasiders have been consistent in recent games, especially on the road. Meanwhile, Bendel Insurance have been inconsistent, winning just once since the league began. They have also managed to keep a clean sheet across their previous nine NPFL games.

Warri Wolves are the most dangerous side in the division, and knowing full well how porous the hosts' defence can be, I expect Warri Wolves to at least secure a point here. It's not going to come on a platter of gold, as Bendel Insurance showed some signs of improvement across their last two games.

Both teams are capable of securing all the points, but the Warri Wolves have been one of my favourite teams this season, and their performance on the road has been excellent. I will back the guests against the hosts even though this game looks like a share of the spoils. 

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!
