SaturdayRayon Sport vs SC KiyovuAPR vs AmagajuAS Kigali vs EspoirSundayMarines vs MuhangaPolice vs EtincellesLa Jeunesse vs MusanzeMukura vs IsongaSC KIYOVU will be out to stop Rayon Sport from moving up the table for at least a week when the two archrivals meet in the Primus National Football League on Saturday at Amahoro stadium.The ‘Green Baggies’ have been in tremendous form, winning six of their first matches of the season. Their only loss came ten days ago against Police FC.While Kiyovu will be hoping to win and maintain their four-point caution at the top of the table, their opponents find themselves in a porous position near the bottom in 12th position with eight points.SC Kiyovu head coach Jean Baptiste Kayiranga has said his team will live nothing to chance when they face their old rivals tomorrow in what has been a heated encounter. “Rayon Sport is a great team and despite going through some bad times recently. We’ll have to be at our best to get a result. Matches against them are always our most difficult but we’re ready.“We have had enjoyable training sessions in the build-up to this game. Morale in our camp is the best it has ever been and confidence-wise, we’re at the top,” Kayiranga told Times Sport ahead of the meeting against a team he played for and coached. However, Rayon Sport will go into the match without their newly appointed French coach Didier Gomes da Rosa, who returned to Paris to attend to personal matters before coming back to Kigali. Assistant coach Ali Bizimungu will continue to be in charge.After seeing their unbeaten run brought to a halt last week by Police, Kiyovu responded by beating Mukura 1-0 for their sixth win in seven matches.On Wednesday, second-placed AS Kigali were held to a 1-all draw by Isonga at Stade de Kigali. Laudit Mavugo put AS Kigali ahead but his goal was cancelled by Eric Rutongo’s long range shot just before half time.
