Wolaitta Dicha take on Legetafo Legedadi in the first match of week 22 with Wolaitta riding on the wave of their 1-0 win over Mekelakeya, and elsewhere, Fasil City and Hadiya Hossana cross parts.
The title race is pretty much defined with St George being chased by Bahir Dar City and Ethiopian Insurance but just below them are a quartet of teams jostling for space in the top half.
Wolaitta Dicha will try to make 2 consecutive wins when they face Legetago Legedadi.
Tsegaye Kidanemariam's team beat Mekelakeya by a lone Sintayehu Mengistu goal after eight consecutive winless games.
The goal scorer Sintayehu Mengistu may be included on the best line up in place of Binyam Fikre.
Wolaitta Coach, Tsegaye Kidanemariam will not be leading his team on touchline because he is one of 3 Coaches sanctioned by the League for picking up 3 yellow cards throughout the season.
The "Tona bees" are on 9th with 27 points.
Wolaitta needs the win to keep up with Ethiopia Coffee who earned a massive 4-1 over Dire Dawa
Coffee has struggled for consistency this season, so Wolaitta and other teams around them have been giving them the run around.
Fasil City, Adama City, Wolaitta Dicha, Hawassa and Hadiya Hossana have been doing everything to force them
Then of course, there is Dire Dawa City also in the mix.
Legetafo Legedhadi is putted 16th for much of the season as they can't get three points easily.
On the 21st week they drew against Hadiya Hossana.
Fasil City had won their last game against Hawassa City through a Mohammed Muntari's own goal.
They now have 30 points alongside Ethiopia Coffee and Adama City.
They won two straight matches only once this season.
Hadiya Hossana are one of the top performers this season and they are 5th with 31 points.
They are undefeated in the last three consecutive matches, and they haven't conceded a single goal.
Both teams have shown great defending attributes and Hadiya Hosaena has conceded only 13 goals throughout 20 league matches, marking them as the 2nd best defending team in the league.
Fasil City on the other hand have conceded 18 goals on 20 league matches, to rise to 4th on the log.
However, both teams are not scoring a lot of goals which probably accounts for their inability to break into the title race.
