2023/2024 NPFL Match Day 16: Rivers United FC returns to NPFL action, set to welcome Bendel Insurance

Posted : 27 December 2023

After being absent for four matchdays in the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) due to continental assignments as Nigeria's sole representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup, Rivers United will welcome Bendel Insurance FC to Port Harcourt for the Match Day 16 encounter.


The Pride of Rivers were excused from domestic league play to focus on their campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup, where they faced Dream FC of Ghana, Academica Lobito, and Club Africain of Tunisia.


After missing the weekend’s NPFL games, Rivers United will return to action with a challenging match against Bendel Insurance in Port Harcourt.


Following a heavy defeat to Club Africain in the Confederation Cup, the Pride of Rivers view the game against the Benin Arsenal as an opportunity to return to winning ways.


The good form of Nyima Nwagua is a significant addition to the team, and Andy Okpe will be another player Insurance must watch out for.


For Bendel Insurance, the departure of their lethal goal poacher Imade Osarenkhoe to overseas has paved the way for Evans Ogbonda, who has become an instant hit in the team.


However, since leaving the club, Deputy Echeta, who is now playing for Rivers United, will be facing his old club for the first time.


Head to head:
Currently, Rivers United ranks 17th, while Bendel Insurance FC holds the 4th position.


In recent matches, Rivers United and Bendel Insurance FC had a total of 3 matches, among which there were 2 victories for Rivers United and 1 draw.


Rivers United 2:1 Bendel Insurance FC (09.06.2023)
Rivers United 1:0 Bendel Insurance FC (26.05.2019)
Bendel Insurance FC 1:1 Rivers United (20.02.2019).
