Enugu Rangers vs Bendel Insurance
ENUGU, Nigeria (Interstat) — Enugu Rangers host Bendel Insurance on Sunday in a Nigeria Premier Football League matchup at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, with both teams riding momentum from recent victories.
Bendel Insurance enters on a two-match winning streak, most recently defeating Katsina United 1-0 on Monday. That result followed a 2-1 victory at Wikki Tourist on April 19. Before those wins, Insurance endured a 4-0 loss at Kano Pillars on April 5, but have generally been strong defensively, recording six clean sheets in their last 11 outings.
Enugu Rangers also secured a 2-0 victory in their last match, beating Bayelsa United on May 3. That followed a 2-1 win over rivals Enyimba on April 19. Rangers have been difficult to break down this season, with eight shutouts in their last 12 league games. However, they have struggled to find consistent scoring, managing multiple goals only three times during that span.
The teams played to a 1-1 draw on Dec. 13, 2025, in their most recent head-to-head meeting.
Bendel Insurance’s season has been marked by resilience on the road. The visitors have collected wins at Abia Warriors and Wikki Tourist, but also suffered losses at Kano Pillars and Rivers United. Their attack has been inconsistent, scoring more than once in only two of their last eight matches.
Enugu Rangers have been stout at home, with their defense anchored by a disciplined back line. They have allowed just one goal in their last four home matches across all competitions. Yet scoring remains a concern: Rangers have managed only nine goals in their previous eight games, with four of those matches ending scoreless.
The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-0 win for Bendel Insurance.
Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. local time.
