Fasil Ketema vs Ethiopian Medhin

Expert Overview: Fasil Ketema vs Ethiopian Medhin

The upcoming Ethiopian Premier League matchup between Fasil Ketema and Ethiopian Medhin on May 13, 2025, is shaping up to be a low-scoring affair.

This points towards a match characterized by strong defensive structures and limited attacking efficiency.

Both Teams Not To Score in 2nd Half (Prediction: 96%)

There is a very high probability—almost a certainty—that neither Fasil Ketema nor Ethiopian Medhin will find the net during the second half. This aligns with their season-long trends of defensive solidity post-halftime and could result from focused tactical restraint as the match progresses.

Both Teams Not To Score in 1st Half (Prediction: 92%)

Similarly, the odds remain exceedingly high for both teams coming up empty in the opening 45 minutes. Expect a cautious and tentative approach early on, with both sides prioritizing structure over risk-taking—a trend that’s well-reflected in recent first-half performances.

Under 2.5 Goals (Prediction: 81%)

With the average total goals barely surpassing the 1.5 mark, betting on under 2.5 goals holds strong value. Both teams have consistently shown a lack of attacking flair and generally close up defensively, making a high-scoring match highly unlikely.

Home Team Not To Score in 2nd Half (Prediction: 75%)

Fasil Ketema’s inability to sustain offensive pressure after the break is notable, with a 75% chance they fail to register a goal in the second half. Their attack has routinely struggled to break down defenses as matches wear on.

Home Team Not To Score in 1st Half (Prediction: 67%)

The home side has similarly struggled to find early breakthroughs, with a strong two-thirds likelihood of entering halftime without a goal. Ethiopian Medhin’s disciplined start to games will make it difficult for Fasil Ketema to create clear-cut chances in the first half.

Both Teams Not to Score (Prediction: 61%)

Given the trend of low scoring and defensive stability, it is more probable than not that at least one side will finish the match without scoring. This prediction is bolstered by both teams’ low combined scoring averages and general lack of attacking efficiency.

Over 1.5 Goals (Prediction: 53%)

Although there is a slight edge toward the match producing at least two goals, this is a borderline call given the low average tally. If a breakthrough happens early, it could open up the game slightly, but the prevailing trend supports a mainly defensive contest.

Additional Predictions

• Final Score Prediction: 0-0 or 1-0 in favor of either team
• Most Likely Goal Scorer: If there is a goal, expect it to come from a set piece or defensive error, rather than open play
• Match Flow: Expect a chess match with few chances, a low tempo, and both teams hesitant to commit numbers forward
• Potential Turning Point: Substitutions in the second half could inject some late attacking impetus, but the most probable scenario remains a stalemate or low-margin victory
