IPRC- South Coach Didier Bineza told Times Sport that his team learned from their defeat to Patriots and is confident of a win.
“This game is a must-win, we learned a lot from last weekend’s defeat. We have to show consistency, that’s what champions do, we won’t undermine the opponent,” Bineza said.
“Rusizi are a challenging team and we can’t afford a second successive defeat, we need to be extra-keen today. I am confident in my men (players) for the mission.” he added.
Elsewhere today, it will be a battle of former giants but currently struggling sides as Bob Ngoga’s Cercle Sportif de Kigali (CSK) take on Cliff Owuor’s APR at CSK courts at 2pm.
The military side APR lost their first two league games against IPRC-Kigali and Espoir while CSK were defeated by Patriots and Rusizi respectively. Both teams will be fighting for a first win of the 2015/16 season which started on November 28.
