Team statistics:

Ethiopian Medhin have built their season on stubborn home performances rather than free‑scoring attacks. Their record at home – 8 wins, 13 draws and 9 defeats – illustrates how often they manage to stay in matches, even when struggling to convert chances. They have registered a solid 3-0 home victory at their best and also shown they can control away fixtures with a 2-0 win on the road, but a lack of cutting edge has prevented a stronger push up the table.

The five previous matches played by the teams:

• Ethiopian Medhin — DWDLW
• Ethiopia Nigd Bank — DDLWD
