Lobi Stars vs Bendel Insurance Prediction: Hosts will be unstoppable

At Lafia Township Stadium, Lobi Stars will be the home team to Bendel Insurance in game 31 of the NPFL. Ahead of this game, there is a ten-point gap between these sides in their overall season performance, with the host in the lead. How will this game unfold?

Lobi Stars will continue their league title chase and view this home game as a must-win. Last time out against Shooting Stars of Ibadan, this side was thrashed 2-0. However, their last 14 home league games have seen Lobi Stars win 12, while the two others ended in draws. In the league this season, Lobi Stars have accumulated 51 points from 30 games, and they are just three points adrift of placed Enugu Rangers.

Bendel Insurance are off a win over Kano Pillars, a game that ended 2-1. In that game, Bendel Insurance had to come from behind to take all three points, with goals from Sunday Anyanwu and Stephen Eghoghon being crucial to give them all three points. However, prior encounters to that win did see Bendel Insurance go three matches without a win, a run where they lost to Remo Stars and Niger Tornadoes, with one other encounter ending 1-1 with Kwara United. This season, Bendel Insurance have pulled off 41 points from 30 league games, positioning them 8th in the league standings.

Home turf is Lobi Stars strength, and this side have been beyond impressive at that venue this season. On the road, Bendel Insurance have not been the best version of themselves. The two teams will come into this game with good spirit, but the hosts have the better squad and are in a better position here. Backing them to win each half of this game, expect a perfect 2-0 at full time.
