Match description

Mekelakeya (3rd) are the favorites against Sheger Ketema (13th), so I expect an away win. The visitors score 1.5 goals per away game with xG 1.33, while the hosts average just 0.67 goals at home with xG 1.03; in the last 5 matches Mekelakeya have scored 7 goals versus Sheger’s 2. Mekelakeya create significantly more chances: on average 9 shots and 3.17 on target per game versus the hosts’ 6.61 and 2.28, and a conversion rate of 17% vs 10% confirms their offensive efficiency. However, Sheger defend well at home (0.67 goals conceded per game and 50% clean sheets) and record as much as 61% draws in home matches, which increases the probability of a low-scoring game or a split of points. Considering the advantage in quality of chances, higher efficiency and better recent form (1.4 points in the last 5 games vs 0.8 for the hosts), I assess the probabilities as 48% Mekelakeya win, 40% draw and 12% home win.
