Sunshine Stars vs Bendel Insurance Prediction: Akure boys relegation threat continues

Sunshine Stars and Bendel Insurance will square it off at Akure Stadium. Which team wins here?

Sunshine Stars' last game was against Plateau United in the Federation Cup, and they secured a 1-2 win on penalties. In the meantime, Sunshine Stars secured a 1-0 win over Rivers United in their last league game. Despite this, Sunshine Stars have accumulated just 39 points from 17 matches this season, and a win here could see them move from the relegation spot. 

Bendel Insurance's last game was against Wikki Tourist against Bendel Insurance in the Federation Cup, a 0-2 encounter. In the meantime, the visiting team's last league game was against Heartland of Owerri, and they secured a 1-0 win, with Ismail Sarki's goal being the difference. However, Bendel Insurance have two wins, two draws and just one defeat in their last five games. This season, this team has accumulated 45 points from 32 matches, positioning 8th in the standings. 

This is a must-win for Sunshine Stars. If there is a better game to avoid a defeat, it will be a home game like this one. Also, Bendel Insurance have been excellent in the league recently, and while I expect them to show some defensive solidity, a bet on a few goals is another option.
