Ahead of their match day 9 encounter on Sunday, Bendel Insurance's midfielder, Divine Nwachukwu is upbeat of his side's ability to outwit league giant, Enyimba when they play on Sunday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
League group A leaders, Bendel Insurance will host second place, Enyimba in the match of the match day and are seeking to keep their unbeaten streak and to win their 7th match of the season.
Nwachukwu believes the Edo Arsenals have enough firepower to gundown the eight times league champions.
"We are not afraid of Enyimba International and any other team in the NPFL. Remember we met them twice in 2019 when we gained promotion that year and the results showed that we were rivals after barren draws both in Benin and the return leg in Aba. We met again in the NPFL-Dozzy Preseason Tournament last year where they narrowly escaped with 4-3 win over us.
We call on our fans and supporters to come out enmas to cheer us to victory against our toughest challengers. They are a big team, highly experienced but we are going to beat them." He enthused.
The two sides have just four separating them and will be playing to outdo the other in a match expected to pulsating with the top spot of the group at stake.
