The hosts were leading at the break in 40% of their recent matches, exactly the same rate as the visitors, but Al Hilal more often reached half-time level, doing so in 40% of matches compared with 20% for AS Kigali. The hosts’ significant advantage in the competition, combined with the very low average scoring output of away teams, marginally supports the HT/FT 1/1 scenario, in which AS Kigali take the lead before half-time and maintain it until the end. This is a moderately confident selection, as the season data is incomplete and Al Hilal’s stronger recent defensive record also increases the likelihood of a draw.
