Preview

Match preview

Bendel Insurance welcome Kun Khalifat FC to Benin City for matchday three of the NPFL campaign. The hosts sit ninth in the standings with three points from two matches, having opened their season with a 2-1 home victory over Warri Wolves before falling to a 1-0 defeat at Nasarawa United.

Kun Khalifat FC occupy twelfth place after recording back-to-back 0-0 draws against Abia Warriors and Barau FC. While the visitors have yet to concede a goal this season, their offensive output remains completely blank with zero goals scored in their opening two fixtures.

Head-to-head history favours the home side, with Bendel Insurance undefeated in the two previous league meetings between the clubs. That record includes a 2-1 home victory in March 2026 alongside a 1-1 away draw earlier in the 2025-26 campaign.

Confidence

Bendel Insurance have proven formidable on their home turf, securing a 2-1 victory against Warri Wolves in their sole home match this season. In contrast, Kun Khalifat FC have demonstrated resolute defending with two consecutive 0-0 stalemates, but their complete lack of goals scored limits their upside on the road. Bendel Insurance also hold the upper hand in recent head-to-head history, having won 2-1 at home and drawn 1-1 away in their two meetings with Kun Khalifat FC.
