St George comes up against a resurgent Mekelakeya Thursday
Thursday matches in the BetKing Ethiopia Premier League are set to be thrilling affairs, with St George facing off against Mekelakeya and Wolkite taking on Legetafo Legedadi. For St George, this is a must-win game if they hope to extend their lead at the top of the league table. Currently, they sit in first place with 51 points, but Bahir Dar City's recent win has put them just four points behind at 47 points.
Mekelakeya has had an underwhelming season so far, failing to live up to the hype surrounding their star-studded lineup. However, they are back on winning ways and will undoubtedly be motivated to take on St George. The two sides have a storied history, adding to the intensity of the match.
Last week, Wolkite City lost to St George but their captain, Getaneh Kebede, managed to score a goal. Kebede is a legend in Ethiopian football and is currently second on the league's scorers' chart with 15 goals, behind St George's Togolese striker, Ismail Ouro-Agoro, who has scored an impressive 22 goals. It's highly likely that Ouro-Agoro will score again in Thursday's match as he strives to break the record of 29 goals set by former Ethiopia Coffee striker Abubeker Nasir two seasons ago.
Meanwhile, Wolkite is set to take on Legetafo Legedadi, who have had a difficult season and are currently at the bottom of the league table. With little hope of climbing out of the relegation zone, Legetafo Legedadi's future in the Premier League looks uncertain.
Overall, Thursday's matches are sure to be exciting affairs, with both St George and Wolkite looking to secure crucial victories. For football fans in Ethiopia, it's a day not to be missed.
