In an Ethiopian Premier League fixture, Ethio Electric hosted Saint George Addis Ababa. The visitors claimed a narrow win thanks to a goal scored in the very first minute. The score remained unchanged at half-time and neither side added to the tally after the break. Ethio Electric had 49 % possession to Saint George’s 51 %, earned five corners to three and registered 71 dangerous attacks against 83. Both sides collected four yellow cards and no red cards were shown.
Bookmakers price the over 1.5 goals line at 65 %, yet the average goals scored in the last five matches of both sides is 1.6. Given the low scoring record, the under 1.5 goals looks likely with an estimated 55 % probability.
Odds of 2.68 for the hosts, 2.54 for the visitors and 2.81 for the draw suggest a very even contest. Based on recent form, Ethio Electric are given a 37 % chance to win, Saint George 35 %, and the draw 28 %.
