Welayta Dicha vs Dire Dawa Prediction: A draw will be huge for these sides

Welayta Dicha and Dire Dawa are set to clash in this league fixture at Wolaita Sodo Stadium. In their previous encounter, both teams could only manage a 1-1 draw. Will there be a definitive winner in this match, or are we in store for another draw?

Welayta Dicha - LDDLL

Welayta Dicha are currently enduring their seventh consecutive game without a win in the league, and they will be hoping to turn things around in their upcoming match. In their most recent league fixture, Welayta Dicha suffered a 1-0 defeat on the road against Wolkite Ketema, with Temesgen Bejrond scoring the decisive goal. Throughout this winless streak, Welayta Dicha have also lost to Bahir Dar Kenema, Shashemene Kenema, and Defence Force, while managing draws against St. George, Adama City, and Ethiopian Insurance. As a result, Welayta Dicha currently occupy the 12th position in the league standings, having amassed 24 points from 20 games.

Dire Dawa - WWLDW

Dire Dawa secured a 1-2 victory over Fasil Kenema in their recent league match away from home. Despite falling behind to Mignot Debebe's goal in the 13th minute of the first half, Dire Dawa staged a comeback to claim all three points. A notable turnaround performance saw them take control of the game, with goals from Carlose Damtew in the 73rd minute and Ismail Ganiyu in the 76th minute sealing the win. Examining Dire Dawa's recent matches reveals that they have only suffered one defeat, which was against Hawassa. Over the course of nine games, they have secured five victories and drawn two others.

Extra Betting Tips

I'm having trouble actually determining a clear winner in this match, regardless of the form either team brings here. Both sides appear quite confident heading into the game, yet it's difficult to have full faith in the visiting team despite their strong performances away from home. It's likely that both teams will score, as seen in their previous encounter, but I predict they'll end up sharing the spoils at halftime.
