Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Tuesday<\/b><\/p>\n

Marines Vs Espoir 15:00<\/b><\/p>\n

Espoir, ranked seventh, and Marines, in eighth place, face off on Tuesday as both sides target maximum points to climb into sixth. Kick off 3pm, at Umuganda Stadium.<\/p>\n

Both hosts Marines and Espoir are tied at 15 points, each, after 11 matches rounds into the 2021\/22 Rwanda premier league. Sixth-placed Musanze have 17 points.<\/p>\n

The winner will effectively dislodge Musanze.<\/p>\n

Marines head coach, Yves Rwasamanzi, said: \u201cTeams (including Espoir) have improved significantly this season. I told my players to be focused and go all out to battle for victory and I am confident we are able to achieve the target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Separately, Espoir tactician Mussa Gatera stressed that \u201cWe need to win the game and move up the table\u201d but acknowledged it will be a difficult match because \u201cMarines are a good side when playing at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

SC Kiyovu, who last clinched the league title in 1993, top the table standings with 25 points, one ahead of two-time reigning champions APR. AS Kigali and Rayon Sports complete the top four with 20 points apiece.<\/p>\n
