PNFL, TodayKiyovu vs. APR [Amahoro Stadium]La Jeunesse vs. Amagaju [Stade de Kigali]Nyanza vs. Etincelles [Nyanza]Espoir vs. Police [Rusizi]Mukura vs. AS Kigali [Kamena]SC Kiyovu will be on a mission to ruin APR’s quest of retaining the league title when the two sides clash this afternoon at Amahoro stadium.SC Kiyovu is fourth on the league table with 38 points hope they snatch victory to assure themselves of finishing in the top four this season. Skipper Eric Serugaba said yesterday, "We are ready for the game. We are in need of the maximum points so as to end the season with a fourth-place finish,”The military side’s title hopes were dented mid week following a 0-1 loss to Mukura.Dutch trainer, Ernie Brandts who boast a two-point lead at the top of the table must beat Kiyovu and pray relegated side Espoir stop closest rivals Police from winning if the army side are to have any chance of winning their 13th title. Failure to win the league will leave APR facing the rare prospect of a trophy-less season though there is also MTN Peace Cup title to play for. "That is a tough game and Kiyovu is a good side but we have to win whatsoever,” said Brandts.APR are without Jean Claude Iranzi who is suspended and Dan Wagaluka is out with fever.Police with four games remaining have vowed to clash Espoir in Rusizi so as to brighten up their chances.In Huye, Mukur will also be vying to bag all points when they host AS Kigali as La Jeunesse and Amagaju will be locking horns at Stade de Kigali.Nyanza must at least pull a convincing result against visitors Etincelles so as to realise their chances of escaping relegation.
