Ethiopian Insurance vs Arba Menche Prediction: The home team to secure a win in this game

Addis Ababa Stadium will be the venue for round 2 of the Ethiopia Premier League game between Ethiopian Insurance and Arba Menche. The last encounter of this game ended in a win for the home team. How will this encounter unfold?

Ethiopian Insurance will hope to secure a win in this game after finishing 10th the previous season. In 30 matches, Ethiopian Insurance accumulated 40 points, scoring 37 goals while conceding 34. However, the home team's last matches into the season saw Ethiopian Insurance lose to Ethiopia Nigd Bank and Ethiopia Bunna. In the meantime, this team secured wins in three other matches. 

Arba Menche's last league encounter was against Dire Dawa, and they lost 1-2 at home. In that encounter, a 30th-minute Charles Muslege put Dire Dawa in the lead, and despite Ahmed Hussien leveling the score for Arba Menche, 84th-minute Mohammed-Nur Nassir saw them end on the losing end. Arba Menche lost two games in their last matches, one win and two draws. 

The home team is the better side, and I trust them here, looking at their previous meetings. However, while Arba Menche started their season with a poor performance, I do not see them putting off any surprising play here. This will be a one-sided game, and I am backing the home team to take maximum points.
