Mekelle 70 Enderta F.C. vs Bahir Dar Kenema Prediction: The home team can not be written off in this fixture

Saturday league game at Dire Dawa International Stadium in the Ethiopia Premier League will see Mekelle 70 Enderta F.C. play Bahir Dar Kenema. In their last meeting dating to 2020, the two teams settled for a goalless draw in this venue. Will things change this time? Below are full match previews and betting opportunities. 

Mekelle 70 Enderta F.C. played Ethiopian Insurance the previous time out and lost. In that game, Mekelle 70 Enderta F.C. failed to score a single goal while conceding four times, with Dawit Tefera, Remedan Yesouf, and Jamal Abdisa netting for their opponent. However, this team have lost consecutive league games, the first against Ethiopia Bunna away from home. Yet, prior encounters saw them go four games unbeaten, defeating St. George and Dire Dawa. With eight points, Mekelle 70 Enderta F.C. sit 15th in the standings, scoring six goals and conceding 11.

Bahir Dar Kenema defeated Shire Endaselassie the previous time out and will hope for a similar outcome. In a game that ended 0-2, Bahir Dar Kenema could not find the back of the net until the second half when Wondwossen Belete bagged a brace. However, a look at the visiting team's recent games saw them win two and draw one. However, Bahir Dar Kenema have only 13 points from a possible 24 this season, leaving them seated 5th spot. In those games, Bahir Dar Kenema scored seven goals while conceding three. 

Mekelle 70 Enderta F.C. will have to improve their game if they want a positive result in this game following consecutive poor outcomes. While Bahir Dar Kenema were brilliant in their midweek game, I expect a lot of quality play from them in both attack and defence. Being on the road, I do not see Bahir Dar Kenema having an easy job, but yet, they won't drop points. Having also failed to score in consecutive matches, I expect Mekelle 70 Enderta F.C. to get things right this time, hence, a bet on goals.
