St. George vs Legetafo Legedadi A chance for the league leaders to extend their lead

St. George and Legetafo Legedadi will compete against one another in the 27th round of the Ethiopia Premier League at Addis Ababa Stadium. The home team maintains their commanding lead atop the standings, while the visiting Legedadi squad broke their skid of consecutive losses with a victory over Adama City the previous week.

In their most recent encounter, which finished 1-2, St. George prevailed over a formidable Welayta Dicha. The score remained scoreless after the first half of that encounter, with Yared Yarfo's red card in the 36th minute serving as the high point of that period. Despite the fact that Bereket Woldeyohannes scored a consolation goal for Welayta Dicha in the 82nd minute, St. George was still able to pull off a victory thanks to goals scored by Chernet Gugsa and Ismail Ouro-Agoro in the second half of that game. St. George has now won three of their past five matches heading into this showdown, while also drawing with Hawassa and losing to Defence Force in that span. During that time period, St. George was responsible for four goals allowed while scoring six of their own.

In a game that took place a week ago and finished with a score of 1-0, the away team, Legetafo Legedadi, prevailed against Adama City. This victory was significant for the visiting team, putting an end to their winless streak in recent matches. In the game, the scoreboard remained scoreless until a strike by Amanuel Arbo struck the back of the net at the 90+3 minute mark. Nevertheless, despite that success, Legetafo Legedadi are still occupying the 15th slot in the Ethiopia Premier League, and the likelihood of them being relegated keeps growing.

Legetafo Legedadi and St. George have only faced each other in competition once, which took place in the first leg of this game and resulted in a victory for St. George by a score of 0-4.

Despite their recent success in the league, I do not believe that Legetafo Legedadi will be able to prove a point in this match. Although I believe that St. George will give Legetafo Legedadi little opportunity in this match, I am betting on the home club to secure an easy 2-0 win.
