Bottom-placed Etoile de l'Est welcome Gorilla FC to Ngoma Stadium on Tuesday, April 2, in a Primus National League week 26 game.
The Ngoma-based side, now 16th with 22 points, has destiny in their own hands as a win over Gorilla FC would boost their hopes of avoiding relegation.
Ivan Minnaert’s Gorilla FC are not safe either, despite sitting in 12th position on the table. They have 26 points, just four points above Etoile who are 16th with 22 points. They could find themselves into trouble if they lose in Ngoma.

Coach Kwaku Amapakabo's side are in a rich vein of form, they have lost only once (vs APR FC) in their last four games and managed to record wins against AS Kigali, Kiyovu and Gasogi United.
Gorilla FC ended their six-match winless run when they beat struggling Police FC 2-0 over the weekend. The result elevated them to 12th on the table but not far from the relegation zone.
In what promises to be an interesting encounter, Etoile de l’Est will rely on the serveices of striker Gabriel Godspower who has scored three goals in his last four appearances for the club. He has been prolific and he would be very key once again for the home side if his club is to take the three points.
Gorilla, on the other hand, have been very abysmal in defense and in attack. They, however, have the likes of Johnson Adeaga who on his good is a real lethal weapon.
It will be a game full of action but the team which takes their chances and remains resolute at the back will amass the three points at stake.
Other game.
Police FC, who have been very poor in the second round of the season, will welcome a well-drilled Amagaju FC side to Kigali Pele Stadium in a game they cannot afford to lose.
