St. George vs Wolkite Ketema Prediction: The home team has what it takes here

In the first week of the Ethiopia Premier League, the match between St. George and Wolkite Ketema will take place at Addis Abeba Stadium. The home team will enter this new season with the goal of successfully defending their league title, while Wolkite Ketema will have their sights set on improving upon their performance from last year.

St. George - league title defense

The previous year, St. George enjoyed a successful season, which culminated in them winning the Ethiopia Premier League title with 64 points after competing in 30 matches. However, going into this season, the home team has not had much luck, as they have been eliminated from the CAF Champions League in consecutive matches, the most recent of which was a match against Al Ahly that ended with a score of 4-0. On the other hand, despite the fact that the host will come here as the favorite, we can certainly anticipate a better performance from them here.

Wolkite Ketema - can the visiting side avoid defeat?

Wolkite Ketema have not played well recently, and the opposing team, which finished in 13th place out of 16, will be hoping for a stronger showing this season. During that particular season, Wolkite Ketema finished with a total of 35 points after competing in a total of 30 matches and possibly from 90 points. Despite this, going into this new season, the away team had only one victory in their previous five matches, drawing three of them and losing one. In addition, they had one loss during that span.

Head-Head Statistics

St. George has won four of their most recent matches against Wolkite Ketema, while Wolkite Ketema has not been victorious in a single one. Nevertheless, one of the matches resulted in a tie score of 2-2. Over the course of those contests, Wolkite Ketema scored five goals, while St. George netted 13 goals.

Expert Betting Tips

Due to the fact that Wolkite Ketema had a subpar season the previous year, I do not anticipate him having a significant performance in this match. On the other hand, I feel that the fact that St. George failed to qualify for the Champions League because of Al Ahly will serve as a substantial motivator for the team to perform well in this match. Despite the fact that the home team is favored on paper and also has a better record at home versus Wolkite Ketema, I predict that they will prevail in this matchup with little difficulty.
