Digging into past games, it’s a toss-up. Dessie Ketema’s taken the edge lately, but the game’s got a short memory.
Personal take: Each teams’ve got holes. Dessie Ketema’s engine room’s stuttering, while Addis Ababa Ketema’s attack needs a killer instinct.
In terms of the Higher League, this game carries extra weight. The league’s fight for European places means every result matters, and both clubs know a statement win here could shift momentum in the rankings. Recent form in the Higher League suggests neither side can afford lapses, making this tie even more intriguing.
Still, there’s a feeling about this one—perhaps, it’s the matchup where someone steps up.
Bottom line: This ain't just another match—it's prime-time action with implications at both ends of the table. Don't miss it.Hard-nosed betting view:
If you’re backing this one, here’s the real talk.
Dessie Ketema at 1.75 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Higher League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would steer clear.
Addis Ababa Ketema’s 4.41 odds intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The sharp players’ll likely target the Draw 3.41 — these derbies often play out tight, and nerves can kill attacking flow.
