The Battle to beat the drop takes center stage this afternoon with four teams struggling for survival.

Bottom placed Mukura host Marines at Kamena in a match they cannot afford to draw or lose. The Southern Province side has never been relegated but faces a daunting task against a Marines side which lost its last two games.

Musanze also face a tough test against Police who are still in the race for second spot with Kiyovu. The Green baggies are four points clear of Police but a slip up would allow the law enforcers to close the gap.

Elsewhere, Muhanga entertains AS Kigali; La Jeunesse hosts Amagaju at Kigali Regional Stadium while Kiyovu play away to Etincelles.

With the league title already in APR’s trophy shelf, today’s contest with arch-rivals Rayon Sport at Amahoro Stadium is a contest for bragging rights.
