St. George vs Hadiya Hossana Prediction: Hosts to return to winning ways

St. George will host Hadiya Hossana at the Addis Ababa Stadium in the Ethiopia Premier League week 25 encounter. Both teams will head into this game with the certainty of taking maximum points. How will this encounter end?

St. George's run of games with no victories extended last weekend against Ethiopian Insurance. In that game, this side lost 0-1 in what was a home game. However, the prior games to that defeat also saw this side lose to Adama City, Welayta Dicha, and Hawassa, while they drew Defence Force and Bahir Dar Kenema. After 24 league games, St. George have 39 points, positioning them 5th in the standings. 

Hadiya Hossana returned to winning ways last weekend against Shashemene Kenema, a game that ended 1-3. In that encounter, Temesgen Birhanu scored twice for this side in the first half, and an 85th Desta Wamisho sealed the win for Hadiya Hossana in that encounter. However, their prior games to that win saw this team lose to Sidama Bunna and Fasil Kenema while they drew Bahir Dar Kenema. This season, Hadiya Hossana have accumulated 34 points from 24 matches, placing them 8th in the standings. 

St. George need to do better following what could be tagged their poorest performance in past seasons. Hadiya Hossana, on the other hand, have not been consistent either and can not be trusted. I expect St. George to step up in this game regardless, as I believe that this side can not continue to struggle in every encounter. Also, while I expect the visiting Hadiya Hossana to net here after scoring three times in their last meeting, a bet on goals could be prioritized here.
