Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin captain, Maurice Prince, has appealed to supporters and fans of the Benin Arsenals to be patient and keep faith as the team strives to regain their feet while fine-tuning their preparation for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 24 tie with Gombe Utd in Benin City.
The Benin Arsenal’s captain appealed to their evening training session on Wednesday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium ahead Week 24 battle with Gombe Utd on Friday evening. Kick-off time is 5:30 pm.
According to Maurice, “Bendel Insurance need the support of all stakeholders now than ever before.
“We have been passing through difficulties and we understand how our fans and supporters, even our employers feel right now looking at the results we have posted recently.
“We are down to number 10 on the table after losing three games and one draw in all the four matches so far played in this second round.”
“We appeal to all our supporters and fans, as well as our state government not to lose hope. This is the time we really need your support and by God’s grace, we will win on Friday and finally come out of the difficult situation we find ourselves.
“We are hosting Gombe Utd on Friday and we want our people to come out en-masse to the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium to cheer us up and we are going to put smiles on your faces again,” Maurice assured.
The Benin Arsenals are undoubtedly thirsty for goals and eager to return to winning ways as they are coming from back-to-back defeats.
Recall that Bendel Insurance Football Club lost double away games 2-0 to Plateau Utd at the New Jos International Stadium on Sunday after a 1-0 to Shooting Stars earlier in the week.
Gombe United defeated Bendel Insurance FC 1-0 in their first-round meeting in Gombe and the revised fixture on Friday could be a payback time for Insurance.
