St George vs Hawassa Prediction: bet on St George to win

St. George and Hawassa will face off in the Ethiopia Premier League at Addis Abeba Stadium in what is predicted to be an interesting battle.

Saint George are currently seated in the top spot of the Ethiopia Premier League, and they will be looking for an important home win to extend their league lead. Saint George are one point ahead of second-placed Bahir Dar Kenema, and they will look to cement their top spot with a vital win here. When playing in front of their supporting fans, they have had 12 unbeaten winning streaks. The home side have scored in the last nine games in front of their own fans. Coming into this matchup, St. George have failed to score in only one home match so far this season, which is an amazing record. Therefore, we expect them to keep up the momentum against Hawassa Kenema, having lost just one of their last five games and won four.

Hawassa are seated in ninth place in the league table and will be looking to improve their position with a win. They have recorded three losses, a win, and a draw in their recent matches. Their last game was a goalless home draw against Hadiya Hossana. Hawassa have not been good in front of goal recently, with the away team failing to score in four of their last five games. Their last goal was at home against Wolkite Ketema, where they scored three, two of which were own goals by the opposition team. In the last five away games played by Hawassa, they have recorded two losses, two wins, and a draw, failing to score in each of those contests while conceding three.

In their head-to-head meetings, Saint George have four wins, with two other matchups ending in draws. In those meetings, St. George found the back of the net 13 times, compared to Hawassa’s three.

Given that St. George are now in first place in the league rankings and are only separated by one point from the team in second place, we expect the home team to give it their all here. However, Hawassa have been poor in their two last matches when playing away; they have lost both matches. We predict that the home team will win, giving them only a slight advantage in this contest. We can, however, safely predict a match with high goals and, as a result, place a wager on more than two goals being scored given the priority placed by the home team's attackers.
