The visiting APR side should be favourites in this visit to Heroes, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Heroes form and stats
With 2 National Soccer League wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Heroes, who have the most conceded goals (28) in National Soccer League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Heroes, their manager and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Heroes fans got no joy from their last match, a National Soccer League game also here: A 1-4 defeat against Rayon Sports (placed 2nd). Before that game, the home loss against Gasogi United with the scoreline 0-1.
Heroes has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Heroes are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (15 from 7 played).
APR form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (27) in National Soccer League, on their National Soccer League travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats. Things are running smoothly for APR who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 13 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against AS Kigali. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the AS Kigali game have they lost an away game, meaning APR has taken points from seven away matches in a row.
The supporters enjoyed APR's previous game versus Gasogi United (placed 9th), a National Soccer League 3-2 win played at home. Before that, APR travelled to Gicumbi and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
APR find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 10 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on APR as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
