Welayta Dicha vs Sidama Coffee Predictions

Both of these sides are crawling to the finish line despite sitting third and fifth in the table. A draw looks a very likely result and not many goals are expected. I am tipping a low-scoring match to end with a point apiece.

Sidama Coffee Form

Sidama Coffee are having a poor end to the season. They looked like contenders for a top two finish before losing three of their last four matches.

After 12 match unbeaten run with seven wins, they were beaten 1-0 at home by log leader Saint George. A 1-1 draw at struggling Adama Kenema came next.

Sidama Bunna have lost their last two matches, 1-0 to Fasil Kenema and 5-3 to Mekelakeya. Both matches were at home to make it three successive losses on their own turf.

Coach Gebremedhin Haile could ring the changes having trailed 5-1 at home in the last match, before losing 5-3. Amanuel Endale could replace Degife Alemu in defence.

Yigezu Bogale netted a brace in the last match. He has 11 strikes to his name this season and is a key man.

Verdict

The odds for this match are yet to be released. I will be tipping a draw. Considering the lack of goals by these teams of late, a 0-0 draw or under 1.5 goals overall look like good value options.
