Welwalo Adigrat vs Bahir Dar Kenema Prediction: Visiting team to open their season with a win

In the Ethiopia Premier League, Welwalo Adigrat will play Bahir Dar Kenema at Wolwalo Stadium Adigrat, Ethiopia. In the last meeting between these two teams, Bahir Dar Kenema won 3-2 at home. Can Welwalo Adigrat get revenge at home?

Welwalo Adigrat

Welwalo Adigrat will look to be at the top level on their return to the Ethiopia Premier League after not playing in this competition since 2020. In 17 league games played in the 2019-2020 season, Welwalo Adigrat accumulated just 18 matches, scoring 19 goals and conceding 25. However, the home team's recent performances into the new season saw them draw three consecutive matches while failing to win any of their last ten matches.

Bahir Dar Kenema

Bahir Dar Kenema finished fourth in the Ethiopia Premier League last season and will look to do better this time. In 30 league matches played, this team accumulated 50 points and scored 36 goals while conceding 26. In the meantime, Bahir Dar Kenema's recent matches into the new season saw them win just one, a 2-3 win over Adama City. In other encounters, this team drew Hawassa, Ethiopia Nigd Bank, and Welayta Dicha while losing to Sidama Bunna. 

Expert Betting Tips

Bahir Dar Kenema should get a strong start this new season after a not-too-good level of play from the previous year. However, Welwalo Adigrat are not a side we can write off, especially with their strong defensive level of play at home. While the two teams could be at the top level, I still believe the home team is not good enough to avoid a defeat in this opener, even though they might get a goal.
