New Enyimba coach, Stanley Eguma, faces his first test on the job when Bendel Insurance of Benin come calling in Nigeria Premier Football League action on New Year’s Eve.
The match is one of four matches the People’s Elephant have in hand on the rest of the league due to their CAF Confederation Cup campaign, with both sides desperate for a win for different reasons.
Match Odds
Enyimba are favoured by the bookmakers for this one despite their recent form.
Prediction
This will be new manager Stanley Eguma’s first match as coach of the Aba club following his recently appointment as Yemi Olanrewaju’s replacement.
Eguma will be up against an Insurance side heading into this encounter unbeaten in four league matches as they battle against the relegation waters.
We’re putting our money on the new manager bounce to get Enyimba the win here.
