This match features two teams living in the basement of the National Soccer League, Musanze holding 12th place and Gicumbi lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Musanze and Gicumbi should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Musanze form and stats
Musanze has performed well at Ubworoherane Football Stadium so far this season with 6 wins from 9 matches. Points have also been lost, 1 after draws and 2 from defeats. Musanze has won so many consecutive home games (three in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Ubworoherane Football Stadium. We remember; it was Mukura.Musanze drew their last game, 0-0 away at Amagaju (placed 16th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Police Rwanda in a game that was won 2-0.
The Musanze fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Musanze are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ubworoherane Football Stadium, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 9 matches.
Gicumbi form and stats
The loot brought home from travels has not been plentiful for Gicumbi as they have only collected 1 point from their 10 away games. Gicumbi only has 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Gicumbi have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Sunrise game.Gicumbi delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Bugesera (placed 10th) in their previous match; a National Soccer League game. A 0-1 defeat away at Amagaju before that.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Gicumbi's away games this season with only 2 goals from 10 matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Gicumbi's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 26 goals in 10 travels.
