Ethiopia Nigd Bank vs St. George Prediction: Both teams have to show character

Ethiopia Nigd Bank and St. George are set to clash at Addis Ababa Stadium in the upcoming round 13 Ethiopia Premier League matchup. Historically, the hosts have yet to secure a victory over St. George in any of their previous meetings. The question now is whether there will be a change of fortunes for Ethiopia Nigd Bank, or if St. George will extend their unbeaten run even when playing away.

Ethiopia Nigd Bank, coming off a victory against Bahir Dar Kenema, aims to maintain their positive momentum. In the previous match, they showcased resilience by coming from behind to secure the win. This triumph further solidified their position at the top of the league standings, establishing a 2-point lead over their closest rival, Defence Force. Examining their recent performance, Ethiopia Nigd Bank has been formidable with nine wins in their last ten league matches. Impressively, they have scored 22 goals from 12 matches in the current season.

St. George's performance has been on a continuous decline, and despite clinching the Ethiopia Premier League title last season, the team has struggled to defend their championship in the current campaign. In their most recent match, St. George suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to the struggling Dire Dawa. Unfortunately, this loss is not an isolated incident, as they also faced defeat in their encounter against Ethiopia Bunna. The team managed draws against Defence Force and Hadiya Hossana, with their sole victory being a 0-1 win on the road against Fasil Kenema.

This appears to be a likely draw, despite Ethiopia Nigd Bank's strong form and performance. Given the anticipation that both teams will prioritize avoiding a loss, the match is expected to feature a significant emphasis on defensive play, resulting in a low-scoring affair.
