Etincelles know they are going on a demanding visit to Espoir and their Cyangugu Regional Stadium. This preview has all the data you require ahead of the fixture.
- Espoir have the fewest scored goals (4) in National Soccer League
- Etincelles have yet to win a game away.
1-2-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Etincelles when playing away games on sand pitch, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those seven matches are 8-16 (scored/conceded).
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!
Espoir form and stats
With 1 National Soccer League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Espoir are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Espoir with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Bugesera game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 432 minutes without scoring a league goal.
The supporters are hoping that Espoir will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the match against AS Kigali (placed 2nd). Espoir were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Prior to that, an away loss at Sunrise.It should be considered that a glance at the 13 most recent league fixtures shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National Soccer League game versus Gorilla in only four days. This game is also played here at Cyangugu Regional Stadium.
Espoir has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: {2 goals} from 6 games. From these home matches, Espoir have conceded only 4 goals.
Etincelles form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Etincelles so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-4 (win-draw-lose).
Etincelles go into this game after a win, the home game against Rayon Sports that ended 3-2.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Gorilla.Betting fact: Both teams have scored goal(s) in 9 of this club's last 12 league fixtures.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Etincelles rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 13 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Espoir wins - draws - Etincelles wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
