Venue: Kirehe Stadium (2000 seats)

The visiting Rayon Sports side should be favourites in this visit to Kirehe, as the away team holds a 39 point advantage from their 28 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!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Rayon Sports have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf).
