NPFL Season: Akwa Utd, B’Insurance Set to Kickstart After more than six months in the cooler, the abridged format of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) new Season is scheduled to kick off
After more than six months in the cooler, the abridged format of the Nigerian Professional Football League new Season is scheduled to kick off in Uyo this afternoon with hosts Akwa United taking on recently promoted Bendel Insurance FC of Benin City.
Both teams are no strangers to each other. The last time both clubs met in the Nigerian topflight league was in 2008 where Bendel Insurance won by a slim 3-2 win over Akwa United. However, having failed twice in the NPFL, Bendel Insurance restrategized with rigour during their NNL campaign last year and appear ready to avoid another drop again.
Akwa United’s last season form at home matches showed that they weren’t top class as they dropped points a couple of times.
