Bahir Dar Kenema and Hadiya Hossana will battle it out in this week 22 encounter of the Ethiopia Premier League. Bahir Dar Kenema and Hadiya Hossana are seated in the 5th and 8th spot in the standings, respectively. Which side will take all three points here?

Bahir Dar Kenema settled for a 1-1 draw with St. George last time in the league. In that game, Chernet Gugsa’s 30th-minute first-half goal almost gave Bahir Dar Kenema all three points until a late-minute strike from Amanuel Erbo saw their opponents level the scores. However, prior encounters to that draw saw Bahir Dar Kenema win three games in a row, coming against Defence Force, Ethiopia Bunna and Shashemene Kenema. Bahir Dar Kenema have seen their six games end without a loss, winning four and drawing two.

Hadiya Hossana saw their 17-game unbeaten run end against Sidama Bunna last week. In that game, Hadiya Hossana took the lead in the first half through Samuel Sheferaw’s strike in the 9th minute of the game; however, Sidama Bunna Bulcha Shura leveled the scores for his team until a second-half goal from Michael Kporvi’s handling Hadiya Hossana their first defeat in as many as 18 games. Going into this game, Hadiya Hossana are now seated 8th spot in the league standings with 30 points, just three points being their opponents.

Hadiya Hossana won three games in their last five meetings, while Bahir Dar Kenema won two. Hadiya Hossana scored four goals in those encounters, while Bahir Dar Kenema scored four.

I respect the two sides' qualities, and we can expect them to be at the top level here. This encounter should be competitive, with balance in attack and defense. While there is no significant difference between these sides, a draw with scores of 1-1 should be enough at full-time.
