Ethiopian Medhin form and stats

Ethiopian Medhin, who have the most scored goals (50) in Premier League, have collected 16 points from their Premier League home games so far after 4-4-6.

A nice win for Ethiopian Medhin last time playing, versus Ethiopia Bunna. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Wolkite Ketema (0-2).

Lots of goals and action? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 latest league games with this club has contained three goals or more.

The Ethiopian Medhin fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.
