Rukinzo vs Le Messager Ngozi Prediction: Home turf support will be a huge advantage for Rukinzo

Intwari, Stade, Bujumbura, will be the venue for round 8 of the Burundi Primus League encounter between Rukinzo and Le Messager Ngozi. The previous time these two teams faced off, Rukinzo won in this venue. Let's preview this game and make predictions.

Rukinzo

Rukinzo's last league game was against Kayanza, and they pulled off a 4-2 win. However, that win was the home side's second in a row, defeating Deira in a prior encounter. Yet, it is worth noting that Rukinzo failed to win three matches in a row before those wins, losing to Vital'O while drawing Flambeau du Centre and Royal Vision. This season, Rukinzo have 24 points from 13 matches, scoring 29 goals and conceding 18, leaving them in 6th place. 

Le Messager Ngozi

Le Messager Ngozi returned to winning ways against Kayanza in their previous league game, ending 1-0. In the meantime, Le Messager Ngozi have struggled in recent matches, as that win was their second in their last five games, defeating Deira in that run. However, Le Messager Ngozi lost to Ngozi City and Flambeau du Centre while drawing Vital'O. In the league, Le Messager Ngozi have scored 16 goals from 13 matches while conceding 12. With 22 points, Le Messager Ngozi sit 9th in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Le Messager Ngozi have not had it easy this season, and I do not see them winning this game. However, at home, Rukinzo should be the better team, looking at how solid they have been offensively this season. In the meantime, the two teams' defenses have been very poor, and looking at their past meetings, a bet on both teams' scoring is a good option.
