Match description

Kedus Giorgis appears to be the favorite in this matchup: they sit 10th in the table versus Dire Dawa Kenema at 19th, have 11 wins this season compared to the home side’s 7, and over the last 5 matches they average 1.6 points versus the home team’s 0.6 (away: 2-2-1, home: 0-3-2). Offensively the visitors create more chances — averaging 8.94 shots and 3.56 on target away, with xG 1.27 and 0.69 goals per game, while the hosts at home average 6.5 shots and 2.81 on target, with xG 1.09 and 0.56 goals. On the other hand the home team controls possession more often (56% vs 51%) and has a higher home clean sheet rate (38% vs 19%), but both sides concede on average 1.13 goals per game, pointing to a low-scoring affair. Additionally the hosts failed to score in 63% of home matches, and the visitors were goalless in 56% of their away games; however the visitors have conceded only 2 goals in their last 5 matches versus 7 conceded by the hosts, so given the superior xG and shot volume I back the away win (55%), draw 30%, home win 15%.
