This game was marked in the calendar a long time ago by club members of both sides, as it's the first National Soccer League fixture of the season. Both Musanze and Bugesera are looking for a bright start to their league adventure.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Bugesera have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-4-4 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.
Musanze form and stats
The season before, Musanze's league results were 2 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses, resulting in 2nd position in the National Soccer League. During these two matches they scored 4 goals and let in 2. Performing as the host team in the last season Musanze delivered 1-0-0 (win-draw-lost) with 2 goals and 1 conceded.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Musanze have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn six and lost one.
There will be little rest for Musanze after this match as they are travelling to APR for a National Soccer League game in only three days.
