Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan, will be gunning for a second consecutive win when they host table topping Bendel Insurance FC of Benin, in a NPFL match day seven clash, billed for this Sunday at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex.
Fresh from last Sunday’s 2-0 win over Nasarawa United at the same venue, the Oluyole Warriors look good to end the unbeaten run of the Benin Arsenal.
Apparently aware of the importance of the maximum points, the Ibadan soccer lords are determined to secure victory in this tie so as to move up the ladder.
With their level of preparation and the zeal demonstrated by the coach Gbenga Ogunbote tutored lads ahead of the encounter, definitely, there will be no hiding place for the visitors.
At present, the Monday Odigie tutored Insurance boast of an intimidating record, which cannot be overlooked, hence, the Stars’ readiness to give their all to the match.
Bendel Insurance are making their second visit to the Lekan Salami Stadium this season, having faced and beaten Kwara United 1-0 on match day three.
Going by the results of recent meetings between both sides, victory points to the direction of Shooting Stars who have triumphed in their two clashes.
The Oluyole Warriors beat Insurance 2-1 in a NNL playoff in Enugu two seasons ago, and were again the better side during the NPFL/Doxy Mmobuosi Super Cup tourney, held early this year,where they hammered the Edo based side 3-0.
