Bendel Insurance will on Saturday seek to end a run of five straight matches without a win when they host El Kanemi in a clash between top and bottom in Group A of the Nigerian Professional League. Bendel come into this fixture sitting top of the standings with 28 points while El Kanemi are rock bottom in the 10-team group with nine defeats. The home side come into this game with an unbeaten league record with seven wins and the same number of draws. Their lead at the top has been cut to just four points and they will be keen to get back to winning ways. They beat El Kanemi by a solitary goal in their first meeting of the season.

El Kanemi returned to the top flight this season after their 2019 relegation and are now in danger of going right back down. The Maiduguri-based club have won just two of the 14 matches they have played and are one of two teams across both Groups A and B still on single-digit points with nine. They have lost nine matches but were able to avoid defeat last time out as they drew 0-0 with Shooting Stars. The draw was only the second time that El Kanemi have kept a clean sheet.
