AFCONQ: Rwanda host Benin in Group L clash

Reading Time: 2min | Wed. 29.03.23. | 12:48

The game will be held at the Kigali Pele Stadium from 1600 EAT

The fourth round of the Africa Cup of Nations Group L qualifiers will continue on Wednesday with only one game lined up between Rwanda and Benin set to be played at the Kigali Pele Stadium.

The clash had initially been set to take place at the Huye Stadium but was last week moved to the Kigali Pele Stadium due to lack of standard hotels and adequate accommodation for the visiting side.

The game will however be behind closed doors.

The two sides in last week’s fixture settled for a 1-1 draw in Coutonou with Rwanda playing with 10 men after Hakim Sahabo was shown a red card in the 61st minute of the game.

Amavubi occupy third spot in the group standings and a win at home will see them leap to second - strengthening their chances of qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast next year.

Benin on the other hand have not had a good run of form and occupy the last position in Group L with a meagre one point from their three matches played.

Group leaders Senegal on Tuesday punched their ticket into next year's tournament following a 1-0 win over Mozambique thanks to a 19th minute goal by Boulaye Dia.

The Lions of Teranga have four wins out of four so far.
