2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 8: Under-pressure Bendel Insurance hosts Abia Warriors

Posted : 25 October 2024

Currently sitting in 14th place in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) table with just two wins, three draws, and three losses in eight matches, Bendel Insurance is experiencing its worst form of the past three seasons.


Bendel Insurance faces a more confident Abia Warriors FC in the Match Day 9 fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.


The Ochendo Boys are four places ahead of the host team, Bendel Insurance, and will be aiming to collect more points, especially against a struggling opponent.


However, Bendel Insurance skipper Meyiwa Oritseweyinmi is optimistic that the team will bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Remo Stars on Match Day 7 as they host Abia Warriors on Saturday.


Oritseweyinmi encouraged his teammates to focus on the upcoming home game against the Warriors, emphasizing that the Remo match is behind them. He noted that what matters now is having confidence and doing what’s necessary to overcome the setback and secure a win against Abia Warriors.


Expressing his optimism for the team’s chances, he said, “The loss at Remo was painful because we gave our all, yet we didn’t get a result. Matches with Remo Stars are always challenging.


"We enjoyed the game since there was no pressure, and I’m happy with our progress in every match. I urge my teammates to let go of that disappointment and focus on beating Abia Warriors on Saturday.


“That’s the best way to overcome a painful defeat. There should be no hard feelings because we lost to a good, organized team. I’m sure we’ll beat them next time. We know each other well.”


Insurance is currently 14th in the NPFL standings with nine points, while Abia Warriors are in 9th place with eleven points.


The Benin Arsenal had the edge last season with a 1-0 win over the Warriors on Match Day 15 and a 0-0 draw in the revised Match Day 35 fixture in Umuahia.


Head-to-Head


Since 2023, Bendel Insurance FC and Abia Warriors have met twice, with Bendel Insurance winning one game and one match ending in a draw.
