Both games week matches begin week 14 battles at the Adama Science and Technology University Stadium and their results will have great impact on the top of the table.
CBE, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia also known as Ethiopia Nigd Bank take on Sidama Coffee who are fresh from two consecutive loses
Sidama had enjoyed a renaissance under new Head Coach, Zelalem Shiferaw but are now 10th with 15 points.
CBE on the other hand have surrendered the league lead to Mekelakeya following their 0-3 defeatby defending champions, St George.
They are now second on the log with 29 points. If Coach Betselot's team win this fixture against Sidama Coffee, they will be back to the top momentarily until Mekelakeya play.
In the other match of the day, Mekelakeya will host Ethiopia Coffee who are experiencing their own resurgence.
Gebrekirstos Birara's led Mekelakeya are on the top of the table with 30 pointa from possible 36 points.
They have only lost once this season, in the second week by Bahir Dar City, and after that match they have so far remained undefeated by any team.
This fixture will probably be the correct test for Mekelakeya as Ethiopia Coffee remains the other in-form team in the league.
Ethiopia Coffee have won four of their last six matches and drew on two.
They are fifth with 22 poinst the win may top up them to 3rd position.
