NPFL: Bendel Insurance target victory against Kano Pillars

Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Bendel Insurance are determined to bounce back from a recent road defeat as they prepare to welcome fellow relegation battlers Kano Pillars for a crucial Matchday 13 fixture this Sunday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.

The “Benin Arsenal” are seeking urgent redemption after falling short in their last outing, suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Plateau United on Matchday 12.

The Call to Arms: ‘Battle for Redemption’ For Bendel Insurance

Reflecting on their loss, the club issued a direct rallying cry to their supporters via their official Facebook page on Wednesday, imploring fans to turn out in force for the upcoming clash:

“We put behind us, the MD12 loss at Plateau United and focus on hosting Kano Pillars. The strategy to break the pillars of Sai Mai Gida boys at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City begins. Kindly support us as we continue in the battle for redemption. Adaa…Bendel.”

This fixture holds immense weight as both clubs are currently mired in the relegation zone, desperately hunting for points to climb the table. Bendel Insurance, who are searching for just their second league victory of the season, currently occupy 19th place on the NPFL standings. Meanwhile, their opponents, Kano Pillars (‘Sai Mai Gida’), find themselves anchored to the very bottom of the table in 20th position.

For Bendel Insurance, securing maximum points at home against the league’s basement side is non-negotiable as they attempt to kickstart their campaign and escape the looming threat of the drop.
