Welayta Dicha vs Dire Dawa Prediction: A crucial one for the home side

This Ethiopia Premier League showdown between Welayta Dicha and Dire Dawa will take place at Wolaita Sodo Stadium in the round 28 game of the competition.

Winless Welayta Dicha will compete in this encounter with the expectation that they will finally be able to turn their string of disappointing performances around. The host team has not won any of their last five matches, suffering losses to Saint George and Hawassa while drawing with Adama City, Arba Menche, and Sidama Bunna, respectively. The home side's most recent encounter was a tie with Hawassa. However, it is essential to note that Welayta Dicha had victories over Defence Force and Legetafo Legedadi prior to those results. Welayta Dicha currently hold the 13th rank in the Ethiopia Premier League with 33 points after playing in 27 matches. During that span, they have scored 22 goals while allowing 25 to be scored against them.

The results that Dire Dawa have gotten recently have been all over the place, and their most recent game was a loss to Adama City that concluded with a score of 1-2. In that game, Dire Dawa scored the opening goal in the 31st minute, giving them a good opportunity of at least escaping defeat via Charles Muslege's strike. This gave them a strong probability of avoiding defeat. However, despite a lackluster showing in the second half, Adama City was able to turn things around and score twice in the second half. Abubeker Wondimu and Yosef Tarekegn were the Adama City players who contributed to the scoring. It has now been in each of Dire Dawa's last nine matches, that they have scored at least one goal, and I anticipate that trend to continue.

There have been a total of five matches between these two teams, and Dire Dawa has won two of them while Welayta Dicha has won three. During five games, Dire Dawa scored a total of four goals, while Welayta Dicha scored a total of six goals.

I have no doubt that we will see some very exciting offensive play from both of these teams today. Given the number of goals both teams have scored and given up in their most recent encounters, it stands to reason that there will be some scored in this contest as well. On the other hand, considering how important this game is for the home club and how close they are to being relegated, I believe they will settle for a draw at the very least in this match.
