Welwalo Adigrat vs Ethiopia Nigd Bank Prediction: The defending champions have to take their chances

At Wolwalo Stadium Adigrat, Ethiopia, Welwalo Adigrat will take on Ethiopia Nigd Bank in the Ethiopia Premier League week seven encounter. Both teams suffered a defeat in their last league game. How will this one unfold?

Welwalo Adigrat continued to struggle in the league and once again come in as an underdog. In their last match, this team played Ethiopian Insurance away from home and lost 1-0, with Jamal Abdisa’s strike being the difference in that game. However, Welwalo Adigrat have lost each of their season's first five matches. In that run, this team was defeated by St. George, Sidama Bunna, Mechal and Bahir Dar Kemena. Heading into this game, Welwalo Adigrat sit bottom of the standings, the only side without a point so far. 

Ethiopia Nigd Bank played Mechal the previous time out, and they lost 1-0. In that encounter, the defending champions failed to take their offensive chances, as Abdulkerim Worku's 81st-minute Abdulkerim Worku's strike for Mechal denied them a point, at least at full time. In the meantime, Ethiopia Nigd Bank have one win in their first four matches, coming against Arba Menche. In other encounters, this team lost to St. George while they drew Fasil Kenema. 

The two teams have not had a dream start to the season and will need more than luck to win here. While Welwalo Adigrat are at home, they are no threat to any side. On the other hand, Ethiopia Nigd Bank are the favorites to win this game and should do well to take advantage of the weaker side. This should be a one-sided game, and I will back the road team to win with goals.
