The first derby match in the NBC Premier League this season will be played on Sunday October 23 at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium
For Simba fans, they believe this is the game to show the quality of their team and take revenge on the loss of the Community Shield game, Simba taking the lead but losing 2-1
Simba attacking midfielder Augustine Okrah said it is not an easy match due to the existing opposition, although their previous results in the Champions League have given them strength, so they have great confidence
"For us players, we are organized as we did in the last game, we expect a difficult match because of the existing opposition, but for us personally, our goals are to ensure that we win"
"We cannot get taken away of what we did to de Agosto, it added to our motivation to see everything is possible because all this is contributed by the unity that exists between us players, the technical bench and our leaders," Okrah was quoted by >Mwanaspoti< /p>
The top goalscorer Moses Phiri said he did not get a chance to play the first match this season against Yanga due to the coach at the time, Zoran Maki not giving him a chance but now his strength and intelligence are pointing to the next match
"It is a big match here in the country, it will be difficult but we need to fight more to continue our good progress in the league and continue to be at the top of the standings with points not goals as it is at the moment"
"In the league I have scored four goals, I believe I have a chance to increase the number of goals, I don't want to let down the technical bench that trusts me"
"I knew the size of this match before coming here in Tanzania to join Simba," said Phiri
