Wolkite Ketema vs Defence Force Prediction: Can the visitors continue their fine run?

In the eighth round of the Ethiopia Premier League, Wolkite Ketema and Defence Force are scheduled to compete against one another at Wolkite Stadium this coming Saturday. In their most previous matches, both teams had won; therefore, they were both confident going into this encounter. On the other hand, which of the two teams will keep things moving forward, or will a draw be sufficient?

Wolkite Ketema secured a hard-fought victory against Hambericho Durame in their recent match, emerging as winners with a narrow 1-0 scoreline. The hero of the match was Mohamed Ame, who scored the lone goal in the 86th minute. This win marked consecutive victories for Wolkite Ketema, as they had previously defeated Shashemene Kenema in another match that ended 0-1. Despite the recent successes, the hosts have accumulated 8 points from a possible 21 this season, placing them in the 11th spot in the standings.

Defence Force continues to enjoy a positive run, as the visitors maintained their impressive form in their last outing against Adama City, securing a 2-1 victory. The match featured three second-half goals, with Samuel Saliso and Shimelis Bekele's strikes overturning a goal deficit and securing all three points for Defence Force. Presently, Defence Force is on an unbeaten streak in their last five matches, winning all of their last four matchups. The team currently occupies the 2nd spot in the league standings, trailing Ethiopia Nigd Bank by just one point.

This upcoming match is anticipated to be a challenging contest, with both teams striving to continue their winning streaks. However, considering the importance of the match and the current form of the two sides, Defence Force is expected to have the upper hand in this matchup. Additionally, given the hosts' recent struggles in attack and acknowledging Defence Force's defensive solidity, a bet on a low-scoring affair is also anticipated. The overall expectation is for a hard-fought match with Defence Force having a favorable position, and the possibility of a match with fewer goals.
