Welayta Dicha
Premier League
There is no dominant team in the H2H matches between Welayta Dicha and Ethio Electric, as four of the previous six meetings ended in draws, with both sides winning once each in the same period. In the only H2H game this season, it was 0-0.
Welayta Dicha team overview
Welayta Dicha have another solid season. After last year, when they ended sixth in the Premier League, Gebrekirstos Birara's team will again finish in a similar position in the standings. The last two were excellent for the team from Sodo, as they are unbeaten in the last eight matches. However, three of the previous four ended in draws. In the most recent outing, Welayta Dicha won 2-0 on the road against Bahir Dar Kenema. Although the hosts were the favorites to win, the guests' excellent efficiency made the difference between the two sides.
The biggest reason for the good Welayta Dicha results in recent weeks is their defense. Birara's team didn't concede any goals in the last four matches, and their defense will again be in focus on Monday. On the other hand, Welayta Dicha have some problems in offense, and that is the only reason why they are not slightly better in the standings.
Welayta Dicha are extremely tough to beat at Sodo Stadium. At their home, they have a 5-9-3 record.

Ethio Electric team overview
Ethio Electric finished 12th on the table last season, and an eighth-place finish in the current campaign will be seen as an improvement. However, the last few weeks were tough for the team from the country capital, which won only once in the last eight matches. In the previous game, Ethio Electric played to a 0-0 draw at home against Mekelle 70 Enderta. The hosts expected more, but their lack of creativity was again on display.
Ethio Electric are the second-best defensive team in the Premier League. On the other hand, they are the sixth-weakest offensive team. Ethio Electric are making steady progress, but to take another step forward, they have to find a solution to their struggling offense.
Ethio Electric are one of the worst road teams in the Premier League. They have only 4-5-8, and that record could get even worse after a tough match in Sodo on Monday afternoon.
