One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Bugesera have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on sand pitch is 3-3-4 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
