Only a few games have been played in the National Soccer League so far, with Kiyovu Sports placed 5th and Gicumbi sitting in the 16th position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Kiyovu Sports form and stats
The hosts won their first National Soccer League game here at Stade Mumena, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Kiyovu Sports last season were 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses from 15 games.
Kiyovu Sports manager and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Musanze (placed 13th) in the National Soccer League. Before that, Kiyovu Sports had a home game versus Sunrise which ended with a victory 1-0.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kiyovu Sports at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Gicumbi form and stats
It's not happening yet for Gicumbi on their National Soccer League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Gicumbi who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Marines was the last time a defeat was avoided. Gicumbi has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a National Soccer League home defeat versus Mukura with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Gicumbi manager faced defeat when travelling to Police Rwanda and losing 2-3.
After this away game Gicumbi return home for a National Soccer League game against Espoir. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Gicumbi have the goal stats of 2-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Kiyovu Sports-Gicumbi H2H statistics last eight meetings regardless of arena: Kiyovu Sports 5 wins, Gicumbi 2 wins, 1 draw. 5 of these eight matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Kiyovu Sports missing players
