It's early days in the National Soccer League and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
APR form and stats
APR are returning here after visiting Bugesera in a National Soccer League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at AS Kigali that finished 1-1.
Etincelles form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the National Soccer League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 defeats from 15 matches.
Etincelles play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Heroes (placed 16th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Kiyovu Sports.
3 goals so far away for Etincelles, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
APR-Etincelles H2H statistics last eight meetings regardless of arena: APR 7 wins, Etincelles 1 win, 0 draws. 1 of these eight matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).APR missing players
