Venue: Stade Umuganda (5200 seats)

Etincelles are welcoming Amagaju for another important game after their 0-2 result against Police Rwanda.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Amagaju have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 4-1-22 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.
