Arba Menche vs Hawassa Prediction: Home team to win

At Dire Dawa International Stadium, Arba Menche will play host to Hawassa in this round of 15 matches in the Ethiopia Premier League. The home team are coming off a win over Dire Dawa in their recent matches, while Hawassa saw their last match end in draw.

Arba Menche will come into this match after being able to get back to winning ways against Dire Dawa in a match that ended 1-3. However, they will hope to continue in this match, with a lot of improvement surely needed in this squad. In what was their only win in their last five matches, Arba Menche will look to replicate their performance at home in this match. Having scored a total of 17 goals, conceding 19, and accumulating 16 points so far this season in 14 matches, the home squad sits 12th spot in the Ethiopia Premier League standings.

Hawassa will only hope for an improved performance in this match after playing to draws in consecutive two matches. In fact, three of their last five matches have now ended in draws, with one win against Ethio Electric, while also losing to Defence Force. In those five matchups, Hawassa scored three goals, while conceding four. Having accumulated 20 points from 14 matches, Hawassa now sits 7th in the Ethiopia Premier League.

Despite the fact that Hawassa comes into this match as the more talented squad, I think the team playing at home will be able to pull off the victory. On the other hand, I think that their most recent win will give this team a boost of good energy and help them do as well as they did against Dire Dawa. The defenses of both teams have given up goals in almost all of their recent matches, so I am reasonably confident that betting on goals in this match is a good option. In the meantime, both teams are guaranteed to let at least one goal in during the course of this competition, and I am reasonably confident that picking goals is a wise option.
