Prediction published on 08/03/2024, 02:58  by Nella Wagah in NPFL Premier League Predictions

After two straight away matches, Bendel Insurance will be at home to face Gombe United in the Nigerian Premier League. While Bendel look to consolidate their top half spot, Gombe United are locked in the survival battle. The hosts are seeking a first win in five matches as they come into this game. Their last outing ended in a 2-0 away loss at Plateau United. They were outwitted courtesy of second half goals from Alexander Enejo and Daniel Barnabas. That result marked a fourth straight game without Bendel scoring. In that run, they lost three matches, all of them away from home. There is reason to believe Bendel are happy to host this game; they are unbeaten in 54 home matches. In their last 10 home matches, they managed seven wins and eight clean sheets. Bendel missed a good chance to improve their tally in their last home game after drawing 0-0 with Enyimba. They are currently at 31 points, in 10th place.

Gombe United aren’t having a great season so far, the reason they are 19th with 22 points. They are two points away from the safe zone and know a win will get them out. It however does complicate things for them, having played a game more than two of the three sides above them. Gombe United managed to pick up a point in their last game, a 1-1 draw with Shooting Stars. They should have held on at home after Yusuf Taiye’s first half goal, but were shocked 11 minutes to time. Mohamed Hadi scored the equalizer, denying them two key points. Gombe United will be keen to improve on a run that has them on one win only in eight matches. The five points they’ve managed inside their last five matches have all come at home. The visitors’ away record is really poor, they come into this game on four straight defeats and failed to score in the last two. Gombe United are winless in their last 32 away matches.
