Ikorodu City FC set to re-ignite old battles with Bendel Insurance

Posted : 12 October 2024

In what is becoming a trend, Ikorodu City once again has to fight back after suffering a hard 1-0 loss to Plateau United in Jos on matchday five of the NPFL25.


It has been a grueling journey on the road to and from the venue, but it’s back to business this time against a somewhat familiar opponent in Bendel Insurance at home in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).


Tosin Oyedokun and Ayomide Cole, who were both absent for the last trip, are now back with the squad and available for Matchday 6 selection.


In the absence of a head coach following the resignation of Bright Ozebagbe, the team will be handled by the assistant coaches.


The lads will have to move on quickly from the disappointing loss and grueling journey at Plateau United. 


They will also have to find comfort in the fact that they can score after the goal disallowed in Jos and bring a positive mindset into the Match Day 6 encounter.


Bendel Insurance hasn’t been exceptional this season, amassing just 6 points from their opening 5 games. 


They are unbeaten at home this season with one win and two draws but have picked up only one point on the road in their game against Niger Tornadoes while losing to Katsina United.


Both sides met previously in the second division when Ikorodu City played their first-ever league season in the Nigeria National League (NNL) 2021/2022 season. 


Ikorodu City and Bendel Insurance faced off on matchday three of the NNL Southern Conference B1 fixture.


Ikorodu City’s second-ever league goal in the NNL was scored by Johnson Peter against Bendel Insurance in a 1-1 draw on February 26, 2022, with the game held at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.


Bendel Insurance went on to win the return fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium 2-0 in a season when they gained promotion back to the top flight.


The match kicks off at 4:00 PM at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos, on Saturday, October 12, 2024.
