Bendel Insurance technical adviser, Kennedy Boboye, has declared his team’s readiness for the matchday 13 fixture against Shooting Stars.
The two clubs will renew their rivalry at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, on Friday.
Insurance head into the game in confident mood following the 2-1 victory over Kwara United in their last away fixture.
The Benin-City club currently occupy second position in the table with 21 points from 12 matches.
Shooting Stars, who are expected to be backed by their supporters, will be desperate to return to winning ways following last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Barau FC.
Boboye said his players are battle ready for their hosts.
“We only respect other big clubs like us, but we are actually not afraid of any team in the league. We always approach each opponent with a winning mentality and self-belief, whether we are playing at home or away,” Boboye told the club’s media.
