Police         v       Kiyovu

Atraco Fc’s head coach Sam Timbe has declared his full respect for his team’s next opponents, Kibuye ahead of today’s meeting between the two sides in the national football league in Gatwaro, Northern Province.

Speaking to Times Sport yesterday, Timbe said that the taxi-men club will play their usual attacking football as they hope to make it five wins out of five.

"We can’t take anything for granted in this game (against Kibuye). When you started underestimating the strength of your opponent, you could end up putting your job on line.

Every team including Kibuye deserves respect and that is what we do.

The Ugandan coach has no injury worries and his plans for game will be boosted by the return of his leading scorer Jean Lomami from suspension.

Atraco is the only team with a perfect record of four league wins after rounds of matches and go to Kibuye as favorites but anything can happen in a game of football.

Kibuye placed in the relegation zone with two points have a well-documented record of making life very difficult for visiting teams at Gatwaro.

Title challengers, APR play against La Jeunesse at Mironko stadium. The military side which is yet to recover from its poor start to the season will be hoping to pump La Jeunesse further down in the relegation battle.

APR have drawn their last two games against Kibuye and archrivals Rayon Sports and fans have taken their wrath on head coach Rene Feller whom they blame for the team’s not-so impressive return of two wins and two draws.

A win this afternoon will instill some confidence among the players, the fans as well as club administrators, yet anything less than three points will further put Feller and his staff under huge pressure.

Fifth-placed Rayon, with six points are away to Amagaju in Nyamagabe, Southern Province while fourth-placed Electrogaz, with seven points host AS Kigali at Camp Kigali.

Marines who stand second on the league table with 10 points hosts Mukura at Umuganda stadium.

Police host relegation battling Kiyovu at Camp Kigali tomorrow in the only league fixture of the day. Kiyovu are bottom with just a point from eight games while Police are seventh on five points.
