The People’s Elephants have been in terrible form this season as they head here with a share of the spoils.

They picked up a point on the road against Plateau United just after their (0-0) against struggling Sunshine Stars.

Expert Betting Tips
Bendel Insurance have won once, while Enyimba Aba have won a game and five games ending in a tie over their previous seven meetings. Bendel Insurance have been in decent form lately, scoring in seven consecutive games. They still sit in the relegation zone on the standings, and a defeat here would drag them down the log.
It’s sad to see Enyimba struggle in the league after what they have achieved in recent years. The home team has a new coach, and usually, when a new manager comes on board, players always raise their level just to be in his good books. Enyimba Aba have drawn five consecutive games in the division, and dropping points in this fixture will be disastrous. You must also be careful here as I think the guests are capable of finding the back of the net.
I’ll back Enyimba Aba to finally win a game here and score more than a goal for 2.07.
I also expect a BTTS to surface here since the guests have scored in five consecutive away matches.
This game will produce more than two goals for 2.65.
Good luck!
