Mekelakeya form and stats

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 355 minutes without scoring a league goal. Nesru was the last player to find the net. The Mekelakeya goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 286 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.

Mekelakeya drew their last game, 0-0 away at Welayta Dicha (placed 6th). It's uncommon, but the exact score line 0-0 has repeated itself three league games in a row.

0-0 away at Wolkite Ketema before that.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Awassa Kenema are coming to town in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Mekelakeya here at Bahir Dar Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 13 games).
