Hawassa vs Defence Force Prediction: Road team will not drop points

Hawassa will play Defence Force in the Ethiopia Premier League at the Hawassa Stadium. How will this game end?

Hawassa were held to a 1-1 draw last weekend against Sidama Bunna. In that game, Tafese Solomon put Hawassa in the lead in the 17th minute, but Desta Demu scored a 74th-minute second-half goal and leveled the scores for Sidama Bunna. Hawassa have accumulated 33 points this season and are positioned 10th in the league standings. 

Defence Force are off a run of three games with no defeat. In those matches, the Defence Force played to a draw with Ethiopia Bunna, where they defeated Wolkite Ketema and Hambericho Durame. In the meantime, the Defence Force lost just one of their last seven games, coming against Ethiopian Insurance. However, they won four and drew two others of those matches. This season, Defence Force have accumulated 47 points from 24 matches. 

Defence Force will not have it easy on the road, but while their CAF Confederation spot is at stake, I expect them to take maximum points. Also, while we have seen goals from both ends in the majority of their last matches, we expect a similar outcome here.
