Sanga Balende form and stats

Sanga Balende, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) at home in Super Ligue, have performed here at Stade Kashala Bonzola this season with 8 wins from 11 Super Ligue matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. It's trouble wherever Balende are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Balende will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Super Ligue game against Lubumbashi Sport (placed 16th).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Saint Eloi Lupopo (0-2).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super Ligue game versus Blessing in only two days. This game is also played here at Stade Kashala Bonzola.

The Balende fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Balende have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

RCK form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for RCK so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-6 (win-draw-lose). RCK are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Simba fixture.

RCK played 2-2 against Blessing in their previous match.

Before that, RCK travelled to JSK and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the RCK manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against AC Rangers.

The attacking power of RCK when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 12 league matches away. As opposed to that, RCK have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the RCK - Balende 0-2 earlier this season. Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Balende, one draw and zero wins for RCK. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
