In the upcoming Round 9 Ethiopia Premier League clash, the team at the bottom of the standings, Hambericho Durame, will face off against the league leaders, Ethiopia Nigd Bank, at Adama Science and Technology University Stadium. The two teams' recent performances have been quite contrasting, with the home team suffering defeats in their recent matches, while the visiting team has secured victories in each of their matchups.

Hambericho Durame has struggled as a team, and as they approach this upcoming match, the hosts are seeking a better performance. Unfortunately, in their recent matches, Hambericho Durame has been unable to secure any victories, with each game ending in a defeat. During this period, they suffered losses to Defence Force, Fasil Kenema, Wolkite Kenema, and Ethiopian Insurance.

Expert Betting Tips

The visiting team, Ethiopia Nigd Bank, is in excellent form, and it seems unlikely that the bottom-placed Hambericho Durame will be able to halt their momentum in this match. Additionally, although the hosts have managed to avoid conceding more than two goals in four of their last five matches, I still anticipate a considerable number of goals in this particular game. Therefore, placing a bet on "under total goals" might not be the most suitable option based on the expected goal-scoring dynamics of this match.
