In this game, everything is possible, all we need is to be confident in ourselves and what we’re capable of,” Kagere said.The first leg in Kigali in March ended in a goalless draw and the Police striker thinks that if Amavubi play the way they did in the first leg, there would be no reason not to go for the kill in next month’s return leg clash.“We have good players and a very good coach, who knows what it takes to win big games, so I’m sure if we play with confidence, we will have a chance to win that match,” he added.As part of the preparations, Amavubi have lined up two friendly matches against Libya and Tunisia before playing with the Super Eagles.Amavubi head coach Milutin Sredojovic Micho and his team will start preparations on May 16. The 30-man squad for the upcoming matches will be named on May 14 in Kigali.Both Rwanda and Nigeria, who failed to qualify for the last African Cup of Nations, are eager to make amends in next year’s edition in South Africa.June is a crucial month that will keep Amavubi fans and the players busy as there are three matches on the card. Rwanda is pooled in Group H for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers alongside group favorites Algeria, Benin and Mali.On June 2, Rwanda will play away to Algeria in Algiers before hosting Benin in Kigali eight days later for the June 10th Group H fixture.
