Dire Dawa vs Legetafo Legedadi Prediction: A battle of two poor teams

In the 17th round of the Ethiopian Premier League, Dire Dawa will welcome Legetafo Legedadi to the Dire Dawa International Stadium to face off against each other. It is expected that the home team will prevail in this match, as the away team, Legetafo Legedadi, has not been victorious in a league match since December 2022.

In their most recent league game, Dire Dawa defeated Sidama Bunna by a score of 2-0, which bodes well for their chances in this upcoming contest. Unfortunately, that was their lone victory in their most recent five matches, and they lost their other four matches to Welayta Dicha, Adama City, Arba Menche, and St. George respectively. During those games, the home team was only able to score a total of four goals while giving up a total of eight goals. After playing in 16 league matches, Dire Dawa has earned a total of 21 points, which places them in the 12th position in the Ethiopia Premier League rankings.

The Legetafo Legedadi team has been performing quite poorly recently, as they have only collected six points from their last 16 league matches. Even so, they are under a lot of pressure to do well in this match because they still have a good chance of staying in the league if they play well and win their last few games. The away team has only managed to get two draws in their last ten matches, and both came against Arba Menche and Ethiopia Bunna. Otherwise, they have lost all eight of their encounters. They have only managed to score ten goals thus far this season, whereas their opponents have already managed to score 38.

Even though they are also not playing at their best, the home team still has a chance to win this match. On the other hand, their previous results against teams in the lower half of the table have been impressive, and because of this, we anticipate that they will be able to win. Despite the fact that we anticipate a significantly different showing from Legetafo Legedadi in this match, we believe that it will be challenging for them to hold off the team that is playing at home. But even though we think they'll give up a few goals during the game, we're sure they'll find a way to score at some point.
