Hadiya Hossana, Dire Dawa converge, Addis Ababa, Hawassa seek redemption

Thursday night football in the BetKing Ethiopia Premier League will be all about opportunities for Hadiya Hossana to find a second win and Dire Dawa looking to find their way in the other fixture, while both Addis Ababa and Hawassa seek redemption

It all goes down at the Hawassa University Stadium as week 8 action continues.

Hadiya had gone the whole season a pale shadow of the high-scoring side from last season but they just couldn't score goals, let alone win games until their win last week

Habtamu Tadesse was their scorer last week with a brace in their 2-0 win over Mekelakeya.

Dire Dawa lost again last week, this time to Ethiopia Coffee and that keeps them way below their true potential in 13th position

Addis Ababa have been propelled by the superb form of Strikers Fitsum Tilahun and Ghanian Star Richmond Adongo, but both were curtailed last week and Hawassa will do well to see what Fasil got right.

Hawassa found their groove last week with their top stars among the goals - Mesfin Tafesse, Eferem Ashamo and Biruk Beyene.
