Remo Stars head into the final day of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League season with their top-flight status still under threat as they prepare to face Bendel Insurance in a crucial Matchday 38 encounter in Benin City. The defending champions are in a tense battle to avoid relegation after a difficult campaign.
The Sky Blue Stars boosted their survival hopes last weekend with a spirited 2-1 comeback win over Bayelsa United in Ikenne. After falling behind early, they responded strongly through goals from Alex Oyowah and Victor Mbaoma to turn the game around and keep their season alive.
That victory lifted Remo Stars out of the relegation zone temporarily, but their fate now depends on the outcome of the final match away to Bendel Insurance. Only another positive result will guarantee their place in the NPFL for next season.
Head coach Usman Abd’Allah remains confident that his team can rise to the occasion despite the pressure. He highlighted their improved attacking consistency in away matches and insisted the squad has the mentality required for such a decisive fixture.
Bendel Insurance, however, are expected to provide a tough challenge on home soil as they look to end their season on a strong note. With survival and pride on the line, Sunday’s encounter is set up to be one of the most intense fixtures of the NPFL final day.
