As it stands, the Benin Arsenals are the only team from either Group in the NPFL, yet to lose a game this season.
Bendel Insurance head coach Monday Odigie has said that he has no major interest in his team's current unbeaten streak in the 2023 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
Following a 20th-minute equalizer by Divine Nwachukwu in a week 14 away game at Remo Stars, the Benin Arsenals extended their winning streak to 14 games on Sunday in Ikenne.

Odigie neglecting Bendel Insurance's run
Speaking after their draw with Remo Stars, Odigie stated his main aim was to do his job, neglecting to cast a special focus on his team being unbeaten in the league, with four matches to go in the regular season.
“I am not a coach who works by expectations, I just try to do my job the best way I can,” Odigie said after the game, as reported by ACL Sports.
“Yes, Bendel Insurance just came in from the lower division, so, if the team doesn’t fight, we might not be able to sustain being in the NPFL. What we will just do is try to fight for every game we get to play, and go back to correct our mistakes and that’s just the game of football.

NPFL preview: Remo Stars and Benin Arsenal set for Super Sunday in Ikenne
The biggest game in the world today is in the NPFL where Remo Stars and Bendel Insurance, also known as Benin Arsenal, go head-to-head in one of the matches of the weekend.
“I don’t even know what is going on around whether something called unbeaten because that's not the issue. We have faced very good sides and if they had taken all their chances, results won’t be the same and that’s just it."
Insurance still top of Group A despite draw
As it stands, Insurance are the only team from either Group in the league, yet to lose a game this season.
They, however, have suffered a troubling run in the second half of the season as they have so far, failed to win a game having drawn five times in all of their last five games.
They currently sit at the top of Group A with 28 points after 14 games and look good to be among one of six teams to qualify for the Super 6 playoff.
