Kano Pillars desperately need points on Sunday, May 16 at 5:00 PM in the NPFL. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Bendel Insurance come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Kano Pillars travel drawing too many games (4D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Bendel Insurance and Kano Pillars have split their 8 meetings almost evenly (2W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Bendel Insurance won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Bendel Insurance win or a draw looks most likely.
