Under Robertinho's guidance, Rayon Sports have looked very strong, currently sitting at the top of the table with 30 points from 12 games. Their opponents, AS Kigali, occupy second place with 23 points, and a win for them would bring them a step closer to the league leaders.

"The players are determined and focused. We believe we can still defeat AS Kigali and bounce back from our recent draw," Robertinho said.

"I’ve told my players to remain mentally strong because we’re facing one of the toughest teams this season,” he added.

One of Rayon’s key strengths this season has been their potent attacking midfield and forward line. Captain Kevin Muhire has been instrumental, providing an impressive eight assists, while striker Fall Ngagne has scored six goals. Winger Hadji Iraguha has also been in fine form, with four goals to his name.
