KIGALI, Rwanda (Interstat) — Amagaju FC hosts Rayon Sports on Sunday in a National Soccer League matchup with contrasting recent form, as the visiting Blues aim to extend a six-match unbeaten run and the hosts seek to build on a two-game winning streak.

Rayon Sports (8-5-5 in league play) enters the 4 p.m. local time kickoff at Kigali Stadium after a scoreless draw at Rutsiro on April 19. That result followed a 3-0 victory over Gasogi United FC on March 22 and a 0-0 draw with Sudanese side El Merreikh SC Omdurman on March 16 in continental competition. The Blues have not lost since a 4-0 defeat to Al Hilal SC Omdurman on Jan. 17, posting three wins and three draws in their last six matches across all competitions.

Amagaju FC (7-6-5) comes off a 2-0 win at Musanze FC on April 17, its second consecutive victory after a 2-1 home win over Police on April 4. The two-match winning streak followed a 2-1 loss to Al Hilal SC Omdurman on March 31. Amagaju has won four of its last six league matches but has struggled for consistency, with a 0-0 draw against Bugesera FC and a 1-1 tie with Gicumbi FC in that span.

The teams met most recently on Oct. 24, 2025, when Rayon Sports won 1-0 at home. In that match, the Blues’ defense held Amagaju scoreless, a pattern that has favored Rayon Sports in recent head-to-head play.

Rayon Sports’ attack has been steady, scoring in seven of its last nine matches, but has been held scoreless in two of its last three, including the Rutsiro draw. Amagaju’s offense has produced two goals in each of its last two games after managing just one goal in the previous three.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-0 win for Rayon Sports, a result that would mirror the visitors’ recent defensive form. Amagaju will need to break down a Rayon Sports side that has allowed just one goal in its last four matches.

The match carries playoff implications for both sides in the tight league standings. Rayon Sports sits fourth, while Amagaju is sixth, separated by three points. A win for either team could shake up the top half of the table.
