Ikorodu City vs Bendel Insurance Prediction: Back the home team with confidence

Onikan Stadium will host the week 6 NPFL encounter between Ikorodu City and Bendel Insurance. The two teams could not secure a win in their last league game. How will this encounter unfold?

Ikorodu City will come into this game following a defeat to Plateau United. In that encounter, Vincent Temitope's 63rd-minute strike was the difference. In the meantime, having played five matches since securing a topflight spot, Ikorodu City have failed to win a single game. In that run, the home team lost four, three coming against Kano Pillars, Rangers International and Nasarawa United. Their only point this season came against Kwara United in week two action, which ended goalless. 

Bendel Insurance played El Kanemi Warriors last time out and will look to return to winning ways. In that encounter, Bendel Insurance had to come from behind before the break, taking a point in that game. However, this season, Bendel Insurance have drawn three matches this season, two others coming against Rivers Insurance and Niger Tornadoes. While their only victory was against Shooting Stars, the visiting team lost to Katsina United. 

I believe the home team has a chance to end their woes, securing their first win of the season. While Bendel Insurance come into this game with just one defeat so far this season, I believe the home side, Ikorodu City, are now ready to take their chance, a game that should end 1-0.
