“Waltzing Tona Bees” Vs “The Blues” the weekend’s biggest fixture

As the 2018 Ethiopian Premier League second round resumes over the week end, the league leaders Dedebit’s travel to Wolayta  Dicha the biggest showdown among the fixtures. Leading top scorer Getaneh Kebede is back to action after  a four match suspension.
On top of the league table four points clear with 29 points, title favorite Dedebit is expected to face a strong home adversary back from a dream victory over African giant Zamalek in the Confederation Cup. The return of joint leading scorer with nine goals Getaneh Kebede will pair with either upcoming target man Abel Yalew or Akwer Achemo, the Blues have a  huge undertaking of winning the hosts in front of their jubilant home supporters. Many are suggesting that it is Dedebit’s title to lose.  The hangover of the dream victory over Zamalek still hanging yet longing to impress the home crowd, 8th in the table with 19 points, Wolyta appears under obligation to win by all means. Hero Jaco Arafat and in amazing form Bezabeh Meleyo pairing the strike force and heroic figure Wondwosen Germew between the goal posts, nothing less than a famous win is an option for Wolayta. “Let alone at such moral high ground, facing Wolayta is always a tricky situation therefore we are not to let our guard down until the final whistle,” a senior player from Dedebit suggested.
