Season ticket holders at Ubworoherane Football Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Musanze languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Sunrise will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Musanze form and stats

Musanze are steadily winning games and points here at Ubworoherane Football Stadium. 8 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats is the summary from 12 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Musanze after consecutive victories at their own ground.

In their previous game, led his Musanze to a defeat in the National Soccer League match away at Mukura. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ubworoherane Football Stadium. Before that, Musanze had a home game versus Etincelles which ended with a victory 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Musanze have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 0.

Musanze are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 15 goals in 12 matches. From these home matches, Musanze have conceded only 10 goals.

Sunrise form and stats

Sunrise have only collected 13 points from their away games after 3-4-6 (13 played).

There were no winners in Sunrise's previous match, a National Soccer League home game that ended 1-1 vs Amagaju. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Police Rwanda wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

Sunrise are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. From a total of two matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sunrise as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games. As opposed to that, Sunrise have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
