Rayon Sports form and stats

5-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rayon Sports in their National Soccer League matches away.

Rayon Sports might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sunrise proved too strong as Rayon Sports slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Régional de Nyamirambo. Preceding that game was the away victory against Bugesera with the score of 1-0.

After this away game Rayon Sports return home for a National Soccer League game against Musanze. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Rayon Sports have scored 11 goals in 10 league games away. It's not easy to score on Rayon Sports as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Rayon Sports - Etincelles 0-0. Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: one win for Etincelles, six draws and two wins for Rayon Sports. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: nine games.
