Plateau United – Looking to Bounce Back at Home
Jos Stadium has been a strong place for Plateau United this season. Wins over Enyimba and Barau FC have given the team confidence.
After a couple of difficult away games, Monday is a chance to show strength at home and climb the table. With Gideon Monday out injured, other players will need to step up.
Expect the team to start fast, press high, and take advantage of set pieces. Defensively, the boys will need to be alert after conceding six goals in the last two away matches.
Bendel Insurance – Tough to Break Down
Bendel Insurance will look to turn draws into wins. Their coach knows Jos well, having once led Plateau United to an NPFL title.
Bright Omokaro is the creative spark for the visitors, while their defense has been solid, conceding only two goals in the last four games. They will try to frustrate Plateau United early and hit on the counter when the opportunity comes.
From the Dugout – Coach Shola Adegun
Talking about facing his former colleague, Adegun said: “It will be a good experience. But we are focused on winning. We want to perform at our best and get the three points for the club.”
On Gideon Monday’s absence: “Gideon has been very important for us. We will miss him, but other players are ready to step up and make a difference.”
On the team’s approach: “We are taking it one game at a time. Our focus is on this match. We want to dominate the game, create chances, and give our fans a strong performance.”
Recent Form
Plateau United come into this match after a tough loss to Bayelsa United, a win over Enyimba, a defeat to Niger Tornadoes, and wins against Barau FC and Shooting Stars. Bendel Insurance have drawn four of their last five games, showing they are hard to break down but need to improve in attack.
Head-to-Head
The last five meetings have been close. Plateau United and Bendel Insurance each have two wins, with one draw. Neither team has dominated the fixture, and games are usually decided by fine margins.
Storyline to Watch
Can Plateau United make Jos Stadium a fortress again and bounce back from Yenagoa? Or will Bendel Insurance’s former coach spoil the party?
Both sides are desperate for points, so Monday’s game promises intensity, discipline, and excitement for the fans.
