He said: “One thing we have in plenty is the winning mentality, and it’s very important that we stay focused.”“We must try to win this game because it is important for us as we bid to win the league. I know it will be a tricky game against a team fighting to avoid relegation but I am confident my team will prevail,” Gomez told Saturday Sport.Last weekend, Police FC dropped crucial points at home against visitors AS Muhanga in a game which ended in a goalless draw and it gives the blues a chance to win the league since 2004.Police, who are looking for win their first silverware in the club’s 12-year history, will be away to mid table side Musanze FC, who are seventh on the table with 30 points.Reigning champions APR, still smarting from the resignation of assistant coach Eric Nshimiyimana early this week, face a tricky test against AS Kigali at Stade de Kigali in Nyamirambo. Amagaju host La Jeunesse, Muhanga play against Mukura, while Isonga host out of sorts SC Kiyovu.Isonga and Etincelles occupy the bottom two places with 15 and 14 points, respectively, and both are hot favorites to drop to the second division.
