Prediction Sidama Bunna vs Arba Minch Kenema Season – Betting Tips for Premier League on 16th June 2025

The heat is on as Sidama Bunna prepares to face off against Arba Minch Kenema in what promises to be an electrifying battle in the Premier League. Scheduled to kick off at Yirgalem Stadium, this match carries significant weight for both teams as they jockey for crucial points in the final stages of the 2024/2025 season.

Recent Form

Sidama Bunna comes into this encounter with mixed fortunes from their last five matches. While they secured a commendable win against Kedus Giorgis, they faced setbacks in their encounters against heavyweights like Ethiopian Medhin and Mekelle Kenema. Their recent performance has shown resilience, as evidenced by a 1-1 draw against Dire Dawa Kenema in their last outing. Sidama Bunna finds themselves in the 5th position, with 12 wins from 32 matches. The home side boasts a solid defensive record, having conceded 27 goals while scoring 26 throughout the season.

Arba Minch Kenema also finds themselves in a challenging phase, with an equal number of draws in their previous matches. Their last encounter ended in a goalless draw against Kedus Giorgis, following a victory over Ethiopia Bunna. Currently sitting in the 10th spot, they have shown potential but struggle with consistency, achieving only 12 wins but allowing 31 goals in the process.

Tactical Analysis

For Sidama Bunna, the home advantage at Yirgalem Stadium, with a capacity of 5,000, could play a pivotal role. They have a respectable average of 9.41 shots per game, with 100 attempts on target in the season. Their defensive stability in recent matches, including five clean sheets, suggests they can pose a threat to Arba Minch.

Meanwhile, Arba Minch Kenema has a slightly higher attacking output, averaging 6.53 shots per game and managing 79 shots on target. However, they need to improve their defensive coordination: conceding the same number of goals as they scored shows a concerning imbalance. With only a 28.13% chance of scoring over 2.5 goals in matches, they also need to find a way to capitalize on their offensive chances.

Head-to-Head

The last encounter between these two teams saw Arba Minch triumph 1-0, and this memory may linger in the minds of the Sidama players. It will be interesting to see if Sidama can turn the tide on home soil or if Arba Minch will succeed in maintaining their dominance.

Betting Suggestion

Given the home advantage and Sidama Bunna’s determination to keep their European aspirations alive, a bet on Sidama Bunna to win seems promising. Additionally, with both teams balancing their attacking features and strong defenses, a wager on under 2.5 goals could also provide value. Expect a closely fought contest with Sidama emerging narrowly victorious!
