Heroes form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Heroes playing as the away team in the National Soccer League this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Heroes who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Muhanga was the last time a defeat was avoided. Heroes seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a National Soccer League match played at their home ground. Heroes suffered a 2-3 loss to Espoir (placed 9th). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Kiyovu Sports's place.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Musanze in just four days.
