A win for either Mukura or Gorilla will see one of the teams equal Police’s 10 points. However, to leapfrog the law enforcers from the top position, the winning team needs a huge goal margin of at least eight goals, since Police FC boasts a superior goal difference of eight goals.

In a media interview, Alain Kirasa, the head coach of Gorilla FC, said he expects a tough game against Mukura. He called upon his charges to play their best and get a good result.
