Bendel Insurance aims to end Rivers United’s unbeaten NPFL run

Bendel Insurance is preparing to host Rivers United at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium this Saturday, with the home side expressing confidence in ending the visitors' unbeaten start to the Nigeria Professional Football League season.

Rivers United remains the only undefeated team in the league this season. However, Bendel Insurance officials point to their ability to defeat previously unbeaten teams at home, specifically citing their recent victory over Barau FC at the same venue. Club media officer Kehinde Osagiede noted that the players are in high spirits and emphasized the importance of home fan support in securing the three points.

Statistically, the match presents a clash of recent forms. Rivers United enters the fixture with a more consistent record of WWDWD in their last five matches, while Bendel Insurance has recorded WLWLW. Notably, neither team has scored a goal yet this season, making the ability to break the deadlock a critical factor for the outcome.
