Sidama Bunna vs Ethiopian Insurance Prediction: A low scoring encounter expected

In the upcoming Week 20 match of the Ethiopia Premier League, Sidama Bunna will face off against Ethiopian Insurance at the Hawassa Kenema Stadium. Currently, both teams are positioned 12th and 13th in the standings, respectively. Let's provide comprehensive previews and make a prediction.

In their recent match against Shashemene Kenema, Sidama Bunna extended their undefeated streak to three games with a 1-0 victory. The lone goal came from an own goal by Gezahegn Desalegn in the 4th minute, securing all three points for Sidama Bunna. However, preceding this win, Sidama Bunna had drawn against Wolkite Ketema and Fasil Kenema. Overall, Sidama Bunna has only managed one win in their last five games, suffering defeats against St George and Ethiopia Bunna in other encounters. During this period, they scored three goals but conceded six.

Ethiopian Insurance was held to a 2-2 draw by Hawassa in their last league match. Wogene Gezahegn and Abubeker Sani scored for Ethiopian Insurance, while Tebarek Hefamo and Ali Sulieman found the net for Hawassa. However, a closer look at Ethiopian Insurance's recent matches reveals a concerning trend. The team has failed to secure a victory in their last 11 games, with five losses and six draws in that span.

Both teams have been struggling recently and have a lot at stake in this match. The hosts were fortunate to secure a victory in their last league outing, while Ethiopian Insurance continues to face difficulties. I anticipate this match to be closely contested, especially considering Ethiopian Insurance's challenges playing away from home. Defensive tactics are likely to be prioritized, resulting in few goals being scored. Ultimately, I predict Sidama Bunna will emerge victorious and claim all three points at full time.
