Welwalo Adigrat vs Sidama Bunna Prediction: The road team is the better side

In the Ethiopia Premier League, Welwalo Adigrat will play Sidama Bunna at the Wolwalo Stadium Adigrat. Heading into this game, the visiting Sidama Bunna won the last game of this fixture. Will Welwalo Adigrat get things right this time?

Welwalo Adigrat are in search of their first win this season, having lost consecutive matches since their return to the league. In their opener against Bahir Dar Kenema, this team lost 0-1. However, they could not pick a point against St. George the last time out, as an Amanuel Erbo 71st-minute strike denied them. Heading into this week 3 match, Welwalo Adigrat are the only side without a league point this season. 

Sidama Bunna's last league game was against Mechal, and this team secured a 1-2 win. In that win, Sidama Bunna were held to a 1-1 draw at halftime, with Shimelis Bekele leveling the scores after Habtamu Taddese had put Sidama Bunna in the lead. However, a 69th-minute Yigezu Bogale was enough to seal maximum points for this side. Heading into this game, Sidama Bunna have three points from a possible six this season, having lost their opener against Hawassa. 

Sidama Bunna are miles ahead of Welwalo Adigrat, and with what we saw from them in the previous meetings of this game, it is tough to write them out. In the meantime, Sidama Bunna have not been at the top of their game this season, conceding in each game. Yet, Welwalo Adigrat's offensive level of play is low, and I am backing this game to end with few goals and in the visitors' favor.
