Both teams enter the tie level on 12 points, each boasting six wins from six games. With identical records, the winner will automatically finish Phase 1 at the top of the standings.

The clash comes shortly after their meeting in the Coupe du Rwanda final, where APR defeated Police 28–25 to claim the trophy. Despite that recent setback for Police, the last 10 head-to-head games between the two giants show perfect balance—each side has five victories.

A high-stakes showdown awaits as the country’s biggest handball rivalry writes its next chapter.
