SHOOTING STARS ON NOTICE

Bendel Insurance technical adviser, Kennedy Boboye, has declared his team ready for their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 13 encounter against Shooting Stars.

The two sides will renew their rivalry at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, on Friday.

Insurance head into the encounter with confidence following their impressive 2-1 away victory over Kwara United in their previous fixture. The Benin City-based club currently occupy second position on the league table with 21 points from 12 matches.

Meanwhile, Shooting Stars will be desperate to bounce back after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Barau FC last weekend.

Boboye insists his players are not intimidated by any opponent, stressing that Bendel Insurance approach every match with a winning mentality and strong self-belief, regardless of whether they play at home or away.
