This match features two teams living in the basement of the National Soccer League, Heroes holding 15th place and Musanze lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the National Soccer League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sunrise.
Heroes form and stats
When playing at home in the National Soccer League, Heroes, who have the most conceded goals (19) in National Soccer League, have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 4 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Heroes with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Muhanga game, 37 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Heroes, their manager and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
In their previous game, led his Heroes to a defeat in the National Soccer League match away at Sunrise. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Bugesera Stadium. Preceding that match was a defeat to Espoir (2-3).
Heroes are traveling soon after this match as the National Soccer League match at Gicumbi awaits in four days.
The Heroes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Heroes are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (8 from 4 played).
Musanze form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their National Soccer League travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Musanze are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Gasogi United (placed 8th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Gicumbi at their stadium, the result 3-0.
The schedule is very tough for Musanze now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National Soccer League game at APR is waiting in only four days.
Musanze are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Musanze have conceded 8 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
