Dire Dawa vs Arba Menche Prediction: A close contest ahead

At the Dire Dawa International Stadium, one of the fourteenth round of fixtures in the Ethiopian Premier League will feature a matchup between Dire Dawa and Arba Menche. The squad that will be competing at home has recently suffered a defeat at the hands of Adama City, while the team that will be traveling to this match has also recently suffered a setback at the hands of Bahir Dar Kenema.

After suffering defeats to Welayta Dicha and Adama City in their most recent two matches, Dire Dawa will be hoping for a stronger showing in this match after losing their most recent two matches. During those matches, Dire Dawa were held scoreless despite allowing three goals against them. When looking at their most recent six matches, Dire Dawa finished with a record of three wins, one tie, and two losses. This season in the Ethiopian Premier League, Dire Dawa is now ranked eighth in the rankings after accumulating 18 points in 13 league matches. This places them in the eighth spot going into this contest in the standings.

Arba Menche will be hoping for a stronger performance in this match after coming out on the losing end of each of their previous four confrontations. During those matches, they were defeated by Bahir Dar Kenema but played to draws three times against Ethio Electric, Legetafo Legedadi, and Sidama Bunna. In total, they played five matches. During those contests, the away team scored six goals but allowed eight to be scored against them. Taking a look at how Arba Menche has performed this season, we can see that they have only managed to collect 13 points in a total of 13 matches, scoring an average of one goal per game. As they head into this matchup, they currently hold the 13th slot in the league standings.

This game is going to be highly competitive, with little separating the two teams at this point. Despite the fact that they have lost their previous two matches, the club that will be playing at home appears to be in decent shape heading into this encounter. When their prior games are taken into consideration, the away team, Arba Menche, had a record of two victories, while the home team, Dire Dawa, could only claim one. On the other hand, we anticipate a different outcome from this encounter, one that features goals scored by both clubs. Also, betting on the home club to win or draw appears to be a solid option, as we anticipate that they will be formidable and will get off to a winning start in their first match played at home this year.
