After a goalless draw in the first leg in Nairobi, Ernie Brandts’ side need a win tomorrow to reach the second round. 2004 league champions Rayon Sport host AS Kigali, who are out of the relegation zone after being awarded three points against Isonga.In other matches, Marines host La Jeunesse at Umuganda stadium, while a resurgent Mukura side is targeting three points against Etincelles to leapfrog APR into second place.
