Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Friday:<\/p>\n

AS Kigali vs Police (Kigali Pele Stadium, 3:00 PM)<\/p>\n

Saturday:<\/p>\n

APR vs Rayon Sports<\/p>\n

Etincelles vs Rutsiro<\/p>\n

AS Muhanga vs Marines<\/p>\n

Musanze vs Gicumbi<\/p>\n

Mukura vs Gasogi United<\/p>\n

Gorilla vs Amagaju<\/p>\n

Police FC head into Friday’s Rwanda Premier League encounter against struggling AS Kigali knowing that victory will take them to 19 points, six ahead of second-placed Rayon Sports, who face APR on Saturday at Amahoro Stadium.<\/p>\n

After six matches, Police remain unbeaten, having won five and drawn one, topping the table with 16 points. Meanwhile, AS Kigali have endured a difficult start to the season, collecting only four points from six games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s possible for us to win, but we have to be prepared,\u201d said Police FC head coach Ben Moussa.<\/p>\n

Winning a first-ever league title for Police FC remains Moussa\u2019s ultimate goal, and he could become the first coach to deliver the historic achievement since the club\u2019s establishment in 2005.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe respect every opponent, and we are taking the AS Kigali game very seriously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali will be looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to SC Kiyovu last weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because Police are top of the table doesn\u2019t make them automatic favourites,\u201d said AS Kigali captain Haruna Niyonzima, a former APR midfielder. \u201cThe game will be open. Our goal is to minimise mistakes from the start. We can win if we play our game well.\u201d<\/p>\n
