With the mouth-watering clash between Akwa United and Bendel Insurance set to come on Wednesday, coach Deji Ayeni insists his side are going to Benin to fight for all three points, www.aclsports.com reports.

The Promise Keepers returned to action in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) on Sunday with a comfortable 2-0 win over Shooting Stars and will now travel to Benin to face the runaway group A leaders who are still unbeaten this term.

“Wednesday presents us with another opportunity to continue our push for a playoff spot which is our first target this season, so I can boldly say that we are in Benin on a mission.

On the opening day of the season, Akwa United lost to the Benin Arsenals in Uyo; Although the gaffer is aware of their good run of form, he wants his side to recover the lost points at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Wednesday.

“There is no doubt that Bendel Insurance is enjoying a good run of form. They came to Uyo and got all three points on the opening day, and we are in Benin to recover the points we lost at home.

“Bendel Insurance are unbeaten after ten matches and that is why they are top of the log but as a coach, I know that every team in this League is beatable, including Bendel Insurance so our mission in Benin is to fight for all three points,” The former Sunshine Stars coach concluded.

Coach Ayeni has selected twenty players including youngster Wisdom Ndon, who had a decent NPFL debut on Sunday, for the crucial game against the Benin side.

Akwa United are second in Group A with 18 points after 10 games, and they will be hoping to trim the gap to within three points of the leaders – who have garnered 24 points after the same amount of games played. The game is slated to kick off by 4pm.
