Plateau United are looking to go top of the table when they host Bendel Insurance in the Nigerian Premier League. Heading into this game, seven points separate the sides. Plateau United are third on 38 points and could go top with a win here. They trail Enyimba, the league leaders by just a point. Coming from a comfortable 5-1 away win over Heartland, Plateau United will be fired up for this clash. The three points made up for dropped points at home in the earlier game as they drew 0-0 with Shooting Stars. That was one of their three matches in five that failed to hit over three goals. most of their recent matches have been low-scoring with the exception of two of their last three. The same is the case at home, where they’ve enjoyed a much more stable run, winning 10 of the last 11 matches. Six of those 11 home matches produced under 2.5 goals.

Bendel Insurance haven't had the best of times in their recent matches and this will be even tougher. They come into this game having failed to win any of their last three matches. Their 1-0 loss to Shooting Stars in the last game marked the third straight game in which they failed to score. That was also their third defeat of the last five matches, a run in which they managed just three goals. All those goals in the last five matches came in one match. Bendel Insurance will be even more scared of their away form coming to this game. They have no win in their last 10 away matches in all competitions. Bendel have failed to score in 10 of the said 12 away matches and they managed just three clean sheets in the process. The visitors will however be banking on their form against Plateau United. In their three meetings with Plateau United, they are unbeaten, with two wins.
