Ethiopia Bunna vs St George Prediction: League leader to win

In this round 28 encounter of the Ethiopia Premier League, Ethiopia Bunna will play St. George at Adama Science and Technology University Stadium. 

Ethiopia Bunna's most recent game resulted in an away 2-1 loss against Ethiopian Insurance. Wogene Gezahegn scored the game's lone goal in the 24th minute to give Ethiopia Insurance a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half. Hailemichael Adeferes' own goal in the second half made it 2-0 while the game was still proceeding in a similar manner. However, a goal by Robel Teklemichiael in the 83rd minute did much to cut the deficit but was insufficient to at least pick up a point. Ethiopia Bunna played five games in which they won twice, drew one with Legetafo Legedadi, and lost twice.

The previous time St. George played, they drew 2-2 with Bahir Dar Kenema at home. When Chernet Gugsa converted a pass from Binyam Belay in the game, St. George took the lead in the 13th minute. Alelegn Azene's equalizing goal in the 30th minute and Firaol Mengistu's goal for Bahir Dar Kenema's advance in the final minutes of the first half, respectively, changed the course of events. Abel Yalew did well to finish off a pass from Binyam Belay in the second half, leveling the score in the 58th. St. George has now played five games, in which they have won two, drawn two, and lost one.

In the last five matches between these teams, St George came out on top three times, while Ethiopia Bunna only managed one victory. Their most recent encounter, which took place in mid-February, finished in a 1-1 tie. St. George scored 11 goals over the course of those five games, compared to five for Ethiopia Bunna.

I anticipate a different atmosphere in this match from both teams, with a drive to win while being outstanding in both attack and defense. Even though St. George are playing on the road, I believe they should win this game. In the meantime, while both teams have excellent attacking units, I anticipate goals from both teams.
