Match description
Negele Arsi Ketema are favorites based on league position (2nd vs 19th Mekelle) and season record: 15–15–7 versus hosts’ 7–17–13. In the last 5 matches the visitors scored 5 goals and average 1.8 points per game, while the hosts scored only 1 goal and average 1.2 PPG. Defensively the visitors have a clear edge: they concede 0.83 goals on the road versus Mekelle’s 1.11 at home, with clean sheet rates of 44% vs 28%. In attack both teams show similar xG (1.19 for visitors vs 1.14 for hosts) and the same average on-target shots (2.78), but Negele attempts more shots overall (7.56 vs 6.33) and have more goals this season (37 vs 27). Considering the better defense (0.83 vs 1.11), higher table position and superior form in the last 5 (5 goals vs 1), I tip an away win, although the high home draw rate for Mekelle (56%) leaves a significant chance of a shared point.
