AZAM Rwanda Premier League side Sunrise will be eyeing all the three points when they host Marines at Nyagatare grounds on Saturday in bid to keep their top-four finish hopes alive.

According to head coach Justin Bisengimana, who joined the Nyagatare-based side at the start of the season, the club’s target this season is to finish in top four and he is confident they will.

"We will do our best to see that this team finishes among the top four at the end of this season,” Bisengimana said.

Sunrise sit in sixth position with 18 points, two behind fourth-placed SC Kiyovu who travel to Nyagasenyi Stadium for a tricky encounter against Amagaju.

Bisengimana believes that with their striker, Jules Ulimwengu, who is the league’s leading scorer with nine goals, "The top-four target is very much achievable.”

"Besides APR and Mukura who seem a bit stronger, the rest we can compete. We will have to give our best to keep our targets,” noted Bisengimana, before adding that "it is going to be a tough challenge guiding the club to the top but it is possible.”

Bisengimana’s side take on Marines who are in 12th place with 14 points, without their key midfielder, Bonk Rubibi, who is suspended due to three accumulative yellow cards.

Elsewhere, on Saturday, AS Muhanga entertain Camarade Banamwana’s Gicumbi at Muhanga Stadium without their influential midfielder Aime Ntirushwa, while Gicumbi will be without the services of suspended defender Aboubakar Nshimiyimana.

Ahead of the clash between the two sides, hosts Muhanga are in ninth position with 16 points, leading thirteen-placed Gicumbi by four points.
