Rwanda coach McKinstry

Rwanda will deploy an ultra defensive line-up when they play Ghana in their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at Amahoro National Stadium in Kigali on Saturday.

Coach Mckinstry will deploy his usual 4-5-1 formation to counter the silky Black Stars to prevent a goal harvest for the visitors.

After beating Mauritius 7-1 in the qualifiers, the coach manager is aware that only a tough defensive approach can match the Black Stars.

Probable line-up:

Goalkeeper: Olivier Kwizera,

Defenders: Michel Rusheshangoga, Abouba Sibomana, Emery Bayisenge and Solomon Nirisarike,

Midfielders: Jean Baptiste ‘Migi’ Mugiraneza, Yanick Mukunzi, Jacques Tuyisenge, Jean Claude Iranzi and Haruna Niyonzima

Striker: Quinton Rushenguziminega.

Substitutions: Eric Ndayishimiye, Djihad Bizimana, Ismaiel Nshutinamagara, Ernest Sugira, Patrick Sibomana and Celestin Ndayishimiye.
