2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 19: Kwara United Seek First-Round Finish on a High Against Bendel Insurance

Posted : 27 December 2025

As the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) first round reaches its climax this weekend across various league centres, Kwara United face a crucial away test against Bendel Insurance at the Samuel Ogbe Stadium in Benin City on Saturday.

The encounter rekindles painful memories for the Harmony Boys, who endured a torrid campaign against the Benin Arsenal last season. Kwara United suffered a 3–1 defeat in Benin before falling 3–0 in the reverse fixture in Ilorin, as Bendel Insurance completed a damaging double over them.

Heading into Matchday 19, Kwara United are buoyed by momentum following a convincing home victory over Bayelsa United.

Their hosts, Bendel Insurance, are also in high spirits after recording an impressive away win against defending champions Remo Stars in Abeokuta. That result lifted Insurance to 10th place on the NPFL table with 23 points from 18 matches.

Kwara United currently sit eighth on the standings with 24 points and are eager to consolidate their recent form, especially with the return of key players to the squad.

Available for selection are Gidado Toheeb, Akanni Akeem, Bright Babatunde, Jimoh Gbadamosi, Nurudeen Badmus, and Ini Emmanuel. However, Gata Issa and Shola Abdulraheem remain sidelined as they continue their recovery from injuries.

Speaking ahead of the clash, head coach Ashifat Suleiman assured supporters of the team’s determination to finish the first round strongly, expressing optimism about achieving the club’s objectives despite earlier setbacks in the season.

Bendel Insurance will host Kwara United at 4:00 pm at the Samuel Ogbe Stadium, where 90 minutes of action will decide the outcome of this crucial NPFL Matchday 19 encounter.
