The visiting Muhanga side should be favourites in this visit to Espoir, as the away team holds a 10 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Muhanga play their home games on grass, while this game is played on sand pitch. Recent stats for Muhanga when playing on sand pitch are 3 wins, 4 draws and 11 defeats from 18 matches. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 28 times in these games.
Espoir form and stats
With 2 National Soccer League wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Espoir are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Espoir, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The home team returns after sharing the points with Marines (placed 12th) on their last time out; the National Soccer League game ended 0-0. Preceding that match was a defeat to Etincelles (2-3).
The Espoir fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
Muhanga form and stats
The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (8) in National Soccer League, are W3-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the National Soccer League.
270 minutes! That's how long the Muhanga goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Muhanga won their last game, 1-0 versus Kiyovu Sports played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Mukura with the score of 1-0.
Muhanga find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 9 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Muhanga have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Espoir won 2, Muhanga won 0 and 2 draws. 2 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.Espoir missing players
