Meanwhile, leaders APR visit Etincelles today on the back of an impressive run.
"I have faith in my players and I know we can do even better,” said Mukura coach Christian Francis Haringingo. "We have been training and trying to correct weaknesses and mistakes we noticed from our previous games and we are in a better situation now.”
He added: "We defended well at Kiyovu and we have to try to do the same against AS Kigali. If we want to win big things this season, then we need to be a solid team. If you are to stay at the top of the table, you need to score goals and defend well.”
Djuma Masudi Irambona’s AS Kigali have only collected three points from their first four league games this season.
"It is not going to easy. We need to improve with the players we have because they can improve. This is my task at every game,” he said.
He added:” Our target is to win the league and we want to win many games. We won’t give up and we will do all we can to win the Mukura match.”
Mewnahile, leaders APR visit Etincelles today at Umuganda Stadium.
