Gicumbi will host Marines for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table.

One of the Brit-flick releases of 1996 was When Saturday Comes - which was probably as good a barometer of the mood of the nation at that point in history as any other.

Nothing definitive has been agreed but Uefa is keen to leave all options on the table for as long as possible given the general uncertainty across Europe and in the knowledge there is no guarantee the season will be finished. However, there is a view that travel restrictions are more likely to have eased in August, which would be necessary for a cross-border competition.
