In order to ensure that they advance to the group stage of the Champions League, Simba bosses have said that they will never underestimate their opponents, the Primeiro de Agosto of Angola
Primeiro de Agosto expects to welcome Simba in the first match of the first stage to be played on Sunday at the Estadio 11 de Novembro in Luanda.
Simba's Information and Communication Manager, Ahmed Ally, has said that they have planned to play cautiously because they know the quality of their opponents and the good record they have when they last met.
Ahmed said they are aware that the match will not be as easy as some people think due to their opponents having a better team, which is expected to give them victory.
He said Simba will not be defeated in the first match and the return match which will be played on October 16, this year at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, Dar es Salaam.
"We have already sent someone to Angola for preliminary preparations, he has done everything, we know where we will reach, where we will practice, this shows how we are serious and we have the determination to advance to the group stage.
"We don't take the team for granted because we know their quality, don't think that we are underestimating our opponents, they, like us, are determined to reach the group stage," said Ahmed.
The official added that Simba's goals this season are to reach the quarter finals or go further because they have the ability to reach that stage.
Simba will leave the country at dawn tomorrow for Angola ready for the game which will be played on Sunday at 12 pm Tanzania time
