Adama Kenema vs Sidama Bunna Prediction at 16-01-2026

Team Analysis

Adama Kenema

Adama Kenema enters this match in a commendable run of form, boasting a record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five outings. Their offense appears potent, scoring a total of 10 goals while conceding just 4. The partnership between their star forward, Asefa Guta, and playmaker Mekonen Abebe has been a focal point of their attack. Guta has been clinical in front of goal, and his ability to exploit defensive gaps could pose severe challenges for the Sidama Bunna backline.

However, defensively, Kenema has occasionally struggled with set-pieces, and their tendency to concede late goals could be an area for Sidama Bunna to exploit. Tactical adjustments may be necessary, especially if they wish to contain Sidama's fast-paced wingers.

Sidama Bunna

On the other hand, Sidama Bunna, after a shaky start to the season, has found rhythm with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last five matches. They have scored 8 goals but have also let in 7, indicating defensive frailties that could come to the fore against a high-pressing side like Adama. Key player Dawit Fekadu, known for his speed and ability to create scoring opportunities, will be integral. His ability to stretch the opposition's defense may provide crucial openings for his teammates to exploit.

Nonetheless, Sidama Bunna’s defensive organization has room for improvement, particularly against counter-attacks. A well-coordinated midfield will be required to provide defensive support to their backline.

Expect a dynamic game with end-to-end action as both teams fight passionately for supremacy.
