Arba Menche vs Defence Force Prediction: A close match to go in favor of the host

In the 18th round of the Ethiopian Premier League, Arba Menche will be playing Defense Force at the Addis Ababa Stadium.

Arba Menche will be hoping to avoid another poor showing in the league and will be looking to put a stop to their current losing skid. The home team was defeated by Ethiopian Insurance in their most recent match, and the first goal that the visitors scored came in the eighth minute when a strike from Biruk Mulugeta found its way into the back of the net. However, Arba Menche played exceptionally well to tie the game and come back into the match in the 50th minute after Erick Kapaito converted Melaku Elias' ball. However, nine minutes after the equalizer, their opponent's player, Simon Peter, put them back in the lead. Arba Menche have only one victory to show for their most recent five matches, as they have drawn twice and lost twice along the way.

In their most recent game, Defence Force were defeated in the league by Adama City, bringing an end to their winning streak of seven games in a row. During that game, there was a lot of defensive play, and not a single goal was scored in the first half. Nevertheless, the second half featured a more offensive side, with three goals scored by Defence Force, with Arba Menche also scoring twice during this time. There have been three victories for Defence Force in their most recent five encounters.

We expect that both teams will play very well today, just like they have in their previous games, and will have no trouble scoring. Even though the home team has not been performing very well as of late, we are confident that they will turn things around today, especially considering the fact that they will be playing at home, which will be an advantage for them.
