Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Gicumbi languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Bugesera will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Gicumbi and Bugesera should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Bugesera have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
