The fresh new season is about to begin and the club members are trembling with anticipation. It’s a new beginning as Bendel Insurance welcome Plateau United for the opening match at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium. Read more!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Plateau United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 1-4-15 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
It's no vacation for neither Bendel Insurance nor Plateau United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
