BENIN CITY, Nigeria (Interstat) — A surging Wikki Tourist side will look to extend its unbeaten run when it visits a struggling Bendel Insurance in a Nigeria Premier Football League fixture on Saturday.

The match at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium pits two teams on divergent trajectories. Wikki Tourist enters the contest on a six-match unbeaten streak, having most recently drawn 1-1 with Bayelsa United FC last Sunday. Their form has been built on a stout defense and timely scoring, securing four wins and two draws in that span, including a notable 1-0 victory away at Enyimba.

In contrast, Bendel Insurance is seeking a spark, having won just once in its last 10 outings. The Benin-based club is coming off a scoreless draw with Abia Warriors FC and has struggled to find consistent offense, being held scoreless in four of its last five matches. Their lone recent bright spot was a 3-2 win over Kano Pillars on Nov. 15.

The statistical outlook from Interstat points toward a tight, low-scoring affair, with its game simulator projecting a 1-1 draw. This would continue Bendel Insurance’s recent pattern of deadlocks, marking their fourth draw in six games. For Wikki Tourist, it would maintain their impressive momentum as they climb the NPFL table.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. local time.
