With almost half of the matches played in the second division, Musanze Fc still have their hopes of promotion to the first division alive.

The Northern Province outfit hosts Zebres at Ubworoherane stadium this afternoon looking to maintain their grip at the top of Group A hence edging closer to the dream of playing first division football next season.

Musanze coach Rafiki Nshimiyimana is confident ahead of the clash. He said, "Although we shall be without our captain (Emmanuel Muwahimana), we are confident of winning.”

‘Our target is playing in the first division next season,” Nshimiyimana told Times Sport by phone yesterday.

Meanwhile, Union Sports coach Alloys Ntahobitagwa will finally give Amavubi Stars striker Saidi Abedi his league debut today against Nyanza in Huye.

The striker has not played any competitive football for over six weeks, raising concerns about his fitness levels ahead of Amavubi’s 2010 World/African Cup qualifier against Zambia next month.

Musanze lead Group A with 17 points, level with Nyanza but with a better goal difference. Aspej are third with 16 points. 

Etincelles lead Group B with 21 points followed by Muhanga on 17 points and Gisovu are in third position with 16.
