Djibouti vs Ethiopia Prediction: The Walia Ibex to run riot in this game

The Walia Ibex will travel to play Djibouti at Stade El Abdi in game four of the World Cup Qualifying campaign. Heaಞding into this game, both teams are yet t🐠o secure a win in this qualifier. Which nation will change the narrative?

Djibouti are in search of their first points in this World Cup qualifying campaign. Having played three different encounters, this team has conceded 9 different goals while scoring one. However, looking at this team’s last six matches, they failed to secure a single win. In those matches, Djibouti lost to Egypt, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, while they drew Equatorial Guinea and Liberia. In fact, Djibouti have failed to secure a win in 2024, with their last win being against Pakistan last year June. 

Ethiopia picked their first point in the World Cup qualifier following a goalless draw with Guinea Bissau. In what will be their second successive road game in this competition, Ethiopia will hope to get an even more positive result as they come in as overwhelming favorites in this game. Despite this, this team come into this game with a record of one win in their last six matches, coming against Lesotho in a 2-1 friendly game. However, other games in that run saw this team. 

Ethiopia should win this encounter. I am not a🅠ctually writing Djibouti off in this game, but this side has failed to show quality or competitiveness in this qualifier. On the other hand, while Ethiopia do not look too confident or consistent, the fact that they have enjoyed the best outcomes in this fixture should be momentum for them even on the road.
