- Musanze have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.
- Etincelles have yet to win a game away.
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.

Recent statistics for Etincelles on grass are 2 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 13 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 8-16.
