Rwanda National Team head Coach, Torsten Spittler is feeling confident ahead of the team’s
double-headed AFCON qualifiers encounter with Benin on October 11th and the 15th.
Coach Spittler has acknowledged that the match against Benin will be a challenging encounter and he’s positive about his squad which he believes will make things more difficult for Benin to beat them.
In an interview with Sports Journalist on Thursday, Coach Spittler reflected on the last encounter with Benin, where his team experienced a 1-0 loss.
He emphasized that his team is still developing and getting better from every match they have played.
“I am happy that most of the instructions and Tactics I have given my players are still in their minds, It will be another step forward, I’m positive we will make it, and it will be difficult for Benin to beat us,” Spittler told the press.
“It is going to be my second match against Benin, the first match we lost 1-0 at Cote d’Ivoire, I already said in my earlier press conference that my team is still developing and it is getting better in every game,” he added.
Amavubi has two points from two games and sits third in Group D. They drew 1-1 with Libya in Tripoli and 0-0 with Nigeria at Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.
Rwanda will play Benin for the second time in this year’s following their 1-0 defeat in their 2026 World Cup qualifier.
Both Benin and Rwanda have played 7 Games since 2010. Among them, Benin won 4 games (Total Goals 11, PPG 1.6), Rwanda won 1 (Total Goals 3, PPG 0.4), and drew 2.
