Etincelles battle against AS Kigali for glory and sporting success.
It's no vacation for neither Etincelles nor AS Kigali as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Etincelles form and stats
Only two National Soccer League home games for Etincelles so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Etincelles with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Espoir game, 154 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Etincelles, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Etincelles are traveling soon after this match as the National Soccer League match at Musanze awaits in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Etincelles's 2 home games: 3 goals, 3 conceded.
AS Kigali form and stats
Let's have a look at how AS Kigali performed last season in the National Soccer League: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 12 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 21 and conceded 20 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 6 and lost 2 with 8/8 goals scored/conceded.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kigali manager E. Nshimiyimana as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Police Rwanda.
