It's the second chance for points this campaign as Mebrat Hayl and Kedus Giorgis bump heads at Mahidol University Stadium.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Performing as the home team in the previous season Mebrat Hayl delivered 7-4-5 (win-draw-lost) with 20 goals and 17 conceded. There’s a good atmosphere here at Mahidol University Stadium after three straight home wins.
Mebrat Hayl are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Bahardar.
Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Sidama Bunna.Kedus Giorgis form and stats

In total they scored 50 and conceded 11 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 5 and lost 1 with 22/4 goals scored/conceded. Only one away game in the Premier League so far for Kedus Giorgis and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 9 victories, 5 draws and 1 loss from 15 travels.
It's the second away game in a row for Giorgis, but there's smiles all around after the 7-1 victory versus Ethiopian Medhin (placed 7th) last time out. As mentioned above, Kedus Giorgis was the only team on the pitch versus Ethiopian Medhin in their previous game, winning 7-1. This could be a tougher task.
