Match description

Sidama Bunna is the clear favorite – they sit 1st in the table with 12 wins this season versus Mekelle Kenema’s 4 (19th) and hold a goal difference of 30:14 compared to 19:23. In the last 5 matches the visitors scored 6 goals and won 3 times, while the hosts scored only 2 goals and recorded 1 win; Sidama averages 2 points per game over the last 5, Mekelle averages 1 point. Quality-of-chances metrics favor the visitors: Sidama average 8 shots per away match with 3.42 on target and a 17% conversion rate, Mekelle at home average 6.92 shots with 3.58 on target and a 16% conversion, and xG 1.34 vs 1.27 suggests greater expected threat from Sidama. Defensively Sidama concede 1.00 goal per away game versus Mekelle’s 1.25 conceded at home, but the hosts draw as many as 58% of their home games and win only 17%, which increases the likelihood of a draw despite the visitors’ superiority. Based on this I assess Sidama’s win probability at 51%, draw 34% and Mekelle win 15%.
