The Welayta Dicha manager attacks this game with the team placed 11th so far. In the visitors dressing room Dire Dawa Kenema are in 8th place before this match.

Welayta Dicha form and stats
Two Premier League home games so far for Welayta Dicha, who are yet to win here at Addis Ababa Stadium. Only 0 points so far. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Welayta, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
No payout for Welayta in their previous match, an away game at Fasil Ketema that ended in defeat 2-3. Preceding that match was a defeat to Wolkite Ketema (1-2).
This is expected to be a close game, with Welayta Dicha perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Welayta as a small favourite), we find two games. Welayta Dicha has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost two.
There will be little rest for Welayta after this match as they are travelling to Awassa Kenema for a Premier League game in only four days.
