Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, AS Kigali in 8th and Muhanga in 10th place.
AS Kigali form and stats
3 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what AS Kigali have to build on here at Stade Régional de Nyamirambo in the National Soccer League.
A good away victory last time out for AS Kigali, who won 2-1 against Marines (placed 9th). Before that, AS Kigali had a home game versus Etincelles which ended with a victory 2-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with AS Kigali perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with AS Kigali as a small favourite), we find three games. AS Kigali has won one of these, drawn one and lost one.
The AS Kigali fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. AS Kigali have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Muhanga form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Muhanga so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Muhanga losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Muhanga seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Home advantage was not enough for Muhanga in their previous game, as they lost their National Soccer League-match, hosting APR, 0-2. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Heroes.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Muhanga in our archives, and the results are: one win for Muhanga, zero draws and two defeats.
A new game in only four days for Muhanga, the National Soccer League home match versus Bugesera. Busy days.
Muhanga are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 10 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Muhanga have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
