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.

Enyimba Aba

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

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.
