Defence Force are coming off a goalless encounter against Dire Dawa and will hope to get a positive outcome here. However, that result made it six matches in a row without a win for this team. In that run, Defence Force lost to Hawassa and Ethiopia Bunna while drawing Fasil Kenema, Bahir Dar Kenema and Dire Dawa. In their first 18 league matches, Defence Force scored 23 goals and conceded 15 as they sit in 8th place.
Welwalo Adigrat
Welwalo Adigrat played Sidama Bunna in their last league game and settled for a draw. In a 1-1 encounter, Welwalo Adigrat needed to come from behind to avoid a defeat, thanks to Dawa Hottesa's strike from the spot in the second half. However, with that result, Welwalo Adigrat have failed to win any of their last four matches. In that run, this team lost to Shire Endaselassie while drawing Ethio Electric and Dire Dawa. Ahead of this game, Welwalo Adigrat have only 8 points from 18 matches, leaving them in 18th place.
Expert Betting Tips
Neither team has been impressive but it is just clear Welwalo Adigrat are nowhere near competitive to be backed. While the Defence Force have failed to get things right in recent matches, I feel being at home will be a big boost for them. The two teams will have their chances, but it is clear the Defence Force are just on a better level. While this could be a close contest, given neither side has been able to exact offensive dominance, I will back the home team to win in a 2-0 contest.
Our first option is a win for the Defence Force with odds at 1.67 on 1Xbet
Our second option is a 2-0 correct score with odds at 6.00 on Bet365
Our last option is the first-half winning margin; team 1 by 1 goal with odds at 3.00 on Betway
