Bendel Insurance did not enjoy a good market day in the NPFL following a defeat to Katsina United.
Benin Arsenal vs Sporting Lagos
While Sporting flirt with the dreaded relegation zone, Bendel Insurance, also known as the Benin Arsenal, are seventh after an inconsistent start to the campaign.
Though Arsenal are undefeated at home, with seven wins and two draws in nine matches, they will face a tough test against a Sporting side desperate to shake off their woes.

With only nine points separating the sides, an away win for Lagos will not only be their first of the season but could ease the pressure on coach Paul Offor and his Tech Boys.
But Benin Arsenal, who have their eyes on securing continental football, have a chance to compound their visitors' misery in what shapes as a must-win clash for both teams.
Key Stats
- Bendel Insurance are looking to bounce back to winning ways after falling to a defeat in Bayelsa United the last time.
- Benin Arsenal are unbeaten in 21 matches at home.
- Sporting Lagos have failed to win any of their games on the road this season in the NPFL.
