Addis Ababa City Cup champion Saint George entertains visitors Sebeta Town on Tuesday while Ethiopia Coffee hosts former champions Jimma AbaJifar on Wednesday.
After a unconvincing away goalless draw in the season opening match against new comers Wolkite Town last Sunday, Saint George home supporters are anxiously awaiting the showdown against visitors Sebeta Town not yet recovered from the shocking 3-1 home defeat to Welwalo Adigrat.
Spearheaded by two foreign strikers: Atusay Endo and Zabo Teguy, Saint George appeared to miss the service of back to good form Salhadin Said. WIth few goals and hardly an impressive performance, Serbian Coach Srden Zivojnov is under an obligation of winning the game on Wednesday in order to get off the hot seat.
Though denied to have the service of his three foreign players due to a silly technicality, Webetu needs to at least share a point to give club supporters some confidence. A season opening 3-1 home defeat is by all means hard to swallow for the club supporters therefore Sebeta players are under pressure to come with something to show off. What a showdown on Wednesday.
Thursday brings you Kassaye Arage’s Ethiopia Coffee to a head on clash against visitors Jimma Abajifar in Addis Ababa Stadium. Just one win and two goals in the past six matches including the City Cup, Ethiopia Coffee’s season opening 1-0 away defeat to Sehul-Shere led supporters to a huge disappointment therefore Kassaye is under a must win situation.
Former Ethiopia Coffee defender later Coach Paulos Getachew (Mango) in the hot seat, AbaJifar is in search of its first three points in the new season. His three expatriates to be available fresh and in hunger of a win, AbaJifar have everything at least in theory to return home with a win.
