The visiting Rayon Sports side should be favourites in this visit to Heroes, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their twelve league games this season.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Heroes form and stats
With 2 National Soccer League wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Heroes are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The Heroes crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Gasogi United here at Bugesera Stadium in a National Soccer League match. 2-2 away at Gicumbi before that.
The Heroes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Heroes have conceded 11 from these games.
Rayon Sports form and stats
Playing away, Rayon Sports have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 1 defeat in the National Soccer League this season. Rayon Sports has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Rayon Sports have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 180 minutes since they last conceded in National Soccer League.
Rayon Sports's last game was the home draw against Police Rwanda (0-0). Preceding that game was the away victory against Kiyovu Sports with the score of 1-0.
Rayon Sports find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
