The visiting Rayon Sports side should be favourites in this visit to Gicumbi, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their eight league games this season.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Rayon Sports 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 9-5-5 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.
Gicumbi form and stats
Gicumbi, who have the most conceded goals (16) in National Soccer League, have played 4 National Soccer League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-0-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Gicumbi's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Musanze (placed 12th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sunrise (1-2).
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gasogi United in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Gicumbi here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). Gicumbi have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Rayon Sports form and stats
1-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rayon Sports in their National Soccer League matches away.
Rayon Sports won their last game, 6-1 versus Marines played at home. Before that, Rayon Sports travelled to Musanze and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
As mentioned above, Rayon Sports was the only team on the pitch versus Marines in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task.
Rayon Sports find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 4 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Rayon Sports have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
