Bahir Dar Kenema vs Ethiopian Insurance Prediction: Hosts to win in this contest

Bahir Dar Kenema is set to host Ethiopian Insurance in this round of matches in the Ethiopia Premier League at Bahir Dar Stadium. Both teams have faced recent challenges, but how do you anticipate the outcome of this contest?  

Bahir Dar Kenema put an end to their four-match losing streak in their recent encounter against Welayta Dicha. Securing a 0-1 victory, Bahir Dar Kenema's lone goal was scored by Chernet Gugsa. However, preceding this win, the team faced a challenging period, enduring six matches without a single victory. During that stretch, they suffered defeats against Sidama Bunna, Ethiopia Nigd Bank, Adama City, and Hadiya Hossana, while managing draws against Hambericho Durame and Shashemene Kenema. As they approach the upcoming match, Bahir Dar Kenema currently occupies the 7th spot in the standings with 22 points.

Ethiopian Insurance has secured their second consecutive draw, earning a point against Adama City. Notably, this draw marks their third in the last four matches, with the other two stalemates occurring against Shasheme Kenema and Wolkite Kenema. In their recent league clash with Adama City, Ethiopian Insurance exhibited resilience by coming from behind to overturn a two-goal deficit. This comeback was fueled by goals in the 70th and 80th minutes from Biruk Mulugeta and Yared Darza, respectively. As they approach the upcoming match, Ethiopian Insurance finds themselves just two points above relegation positions, having accumulated a total of 12 points from 15 league matches.

Both teams haven't been in their best form recently, making it challenging to support either side in this match. Nevertheless, considering Bahir Dar Kenema's home advantage, I expect them to be in better form. Hence, I am favoring them to secure a victory. Additionally, given the likelihood of a defensive-oriented game, betting on few goals seems to be another viable option.
