The National Soccer League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 8th and 16th respectively.
It's no vacation for neither Marines nor Heroes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Marines form and stats
The hosts won their first National Soccer League game here at Stade Umuganda, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Marines last season were 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses from 15 games.
In their previous game, led his Marines to a defeat in the National Soccer League match away at Gasogi United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Umuganda. Ahead of that match, Marines won a home game hosting Gicumbi (2-0).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Marines at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Heroes form and stats
The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the National Soccer League.
Heroes failed to get anything from their last game, a National Soccer League home match vs Etincelles (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-3. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bugesera wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
0 goals so far away for Heroes, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
