Match description
Kedus Giorgis holds a slight home advantage in this tie: average xG for the hosts is 1.27 versus 1.09 for Mekelle, average shots 8.36 vs 6.20, and average shots on target 2.43 vs 2.27. In attack the hosts score 0.87 goals per home match (24 goals this season; 4 in the last 5), while Mekelle averages 0.67 goals on the road (25 goals this season; 6 in the last 5). In the last 5 matches Kedus are 1-2-2 while the visitors are 2-1-2; the visitors have averaged 1.4 points in those 5 matches versus 1.0 for the hosts. Both teams have conceded 7 goals in their last 5 matches, with average goals conceded 0.73 per home match for the hosts and 0.80 for the visitors away, indicating a similar defensive level. Kedus’s key edge is a lower share of matches without scoring — 40% at home versus 60% for Mekelle away — and a higher league position (12th vs 19th), which increases their chances of maintaining the advantage. Considering the higher xG, more chances created and lower tendency to fail to score, I tip the home win; suggested probabilities are 55% for 1, 25% for a draw and 20% for 2.
