The former coach also pointed out that the team’s performance has exceeded expectations, especially given the competitive nature of the NPFL. He believes they are not just limited to a Confederation Cup spot, but could even challenge for a place in the CAF Champions League if other teams falter in their remaining fixtures. “I am still optimistic that the team will pick a continental ticket for the CAF Confederation Cup at the end of the season,” Unuanel added. “Besides, Bendel Insurance can still finish in the Champions League spot if other teams fail to win their matches.”
Unuanel’s optimism is rooted in the team’s consistency and ability to perform under pressure. He praised their overall approach, noting that they have shown great strength and confidence throughout the season. “But then, Bendel Insurance have impressed me this season, and I am glad with their general performance in the league,” he stated. His comments come at a time when Nigerian football is closely watching which clubs will qualify for continental competitions, with the NPFL season entering its final stretch.
As the race for continental berths intensifies, Bendel Insurance’s position places them in a favorable position to make a historic leap. Their journey so far has been marked by resilience and strategic gameplay, qualities that could see them achieve a milestone for the club. The upcoming matches will be crucial, and Unuanel’s belief in the team’s potential adds to the growing excitement around their campaign. With the season nearing its climax, all eyes will be on Bendel Insurance as they aim to secure a place on the continental stage.
