Bendel will look to bolster their underwhelming attack and steady their defensive solidity when they face Remo Stars on Sunday as they look to get the optimal balance to get their first win in the championship round. 

Key Highlights

Remo Stars Need to Tighten their Defense

Remo Stars have been prolific in front of goal in the championship round. In the opening three matches, they notched 5 goals, which is an impressive tally.

However, the problem for Remo is that they have conceded five goals as well, which underscores why all three of their matches have ended up in share points, thus undermining their ability to challenge at the top.

In the opening match against Enyimba, they grabbed a dramatic equalizer in the 93rd minute to gain a point. However, the roles were reversed against Rivers when they conceded an even later equalizer to drop two points. 

In their match against Sunshine Stars on Wednesday, Remo took the lead in the 12th minute before conceding an equalizer in the 46th minute, thus dropping two points from a winning position again.

Ahead of their clash against Bendel, Remo need to fix their defensive solidity. A solid defense will offer the attackers the platform they need to win the game against Bendel.

Bendel Need to Bolster their Attacking Threat

After three matches for Bendel in the championship round, the record reads three draws. The three points they have collected mean that Bendel are fourth on the table, two points off leaders Enyimba.

Their opening match against Lobi Stars ended in a 0-0 draw, which highlighted their solidity while exposing their offensive weaknesses.

These problems were also displayed in the 1-1 draw against Sunshine Stars and the latest match that ended in a 1-q draw against Enyimba.

The three results highlight Bendel’s defensive solidity and dynamism that has kept the goals conceded to just two in three matches. However, the attack has also scored just two goals.

Therefore, Bendel need to bolster their attacking threat to stand a chance of winning something against Remo Stars on Sunday.
