2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 18: Remo Stars Face In-Form Bendel Insurance in Abeokuta

Posted : 20 December 2025

Defending Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Remo Stars will be eager to steady their faltering campaign when they welcome a rejuvenated Bendel Insurance FC to the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta for their Matchday 18 clash on Sunday.

The Sky Blue Stars have endured a challenging title defense, struggling to replicate the dominance that earned them the championship earlier this year. Inconsistency has marked their 2025/2026 season, leaving fans longing for the resilience that once made the team formidable.

A key factor in their struggles has been the intermittent absence of Technical Adviser Daniel Ogunmodede, whose other commitments have kept him away from the club at crucial times. Additionally, playing home games away from their traditional base in Ikenne, with Abeokuta serving as a temporary venue, has added to their difficulties.

Despite the modern facilities at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Remo Stars have struggled to settle fully, dropping points in important matches. Sunday’s fixture represents another stern test against a revitalized Bendel Insurance side, led by experienced tactician Kennedy Boboye.

Under Boboye, the Benin Arsenals have undergone a notable transformation, first stabilizing the team and now steering them away from relegation danger. Bendel Insurance currently sit 15th on the NPFL table with 20 points and have remained unbeaten in their last five league matches, securing three wins and two draws.

Remo Stars, in contrast, remain without Ogunmodede, who is away on international duty with the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The defending champions sit 12th on the NPFL table after 17 matches, recording two wins and three losses in their last five outings.

With pride, momentum, and crucial points on the line, Sunday’s encounter promises an intense battle between a wounded champion seeking stability and an in-form Bendel Insurance side determined to continue their upward trajectory.
