Wolkite Ketema vs Defence Force Prediction: There is little to separate these sides

This clash for round 28 of the Ethiopia Premier League will take place at Wolkite Stadium and feature Wolkite Ketema versus Defence Force. While the host team just tied Fasil Kenema in their most recent match, Defense Force suffered a defeat at the hands of Bahir Dar Kenema in their most recent contest.

In recent matches, Wolkite Ketema have not been a very bad team, but they have had a difficult time maintaining consistency in their play. In their most recent game, the home team and Fasil Kenema battled to a tense and close draw with no goals scored by either team. However, performances prior to that draw saw them lose just one of their four matches against Dire Dawa, while they picked up wins against Legetafo Legedadi and Ethiopian Insurance and settled for a goalless draw with Hadiya Hossana. In total, they played four matches against Dire Dawa. During that time period, they were able to score six goals, but they also let up four goals to their opponent, who was able to get his team's name on the scoresheet. The home team is currently ranked 14th in the Ethiopia Premier League standings with a total of 33 points after playing in all 27 of their league matches so far this season.

Defense Force has only one victory in their past five matches, and it came against a team that everyone would have assumed they had lost to (St. George), so they will be looking for an improved and favorable result in this encounter. In spite of the victory, the away team has failed to win any of their last four matches. They have played to a tie with both Ethio Electric and Hawassa, and they have lost to Sidama Bunna twice and Bahir Dar Kenema once. During that time period, Defence Force scored six goals but allowed seven to be scored against them. Despite this, Defence Force now hold the 12th rank in the standings of the Ethiopia Premier League with a total of 34 points.

Since February 2022, these two groups have had a total of three encounters. Despite this, the only first game resulted in a victory for Defense Force in a contest that concluded with a score of 3-1. Subsequent confrontations, on the other hand, ended in a tie score of 1-1 and another scoreless draw.

In terms of their overall results, there is hardly much of a gap to be found between these two teams, and when you consider the outcomes of their prior encounters with one another, you can be certain that this one will be just as challenging. Despite the fact that I believe neither team will put on an interesting performance in this matchup, I am looking forward to a low-scoring matchup in which both teams will be content to settle for a draw.
