Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Kagera Sugar in 8th and Ruvu Shooting in 12th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Relegation threatens Kagera who should definitely be looking for some points here. Shooting are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
