Simba is in Mtwara where today they will be at Nangwanda Sijaona stadium to face Azam Fc in the semi-final game of the Azam Federation Cup (ASFC)
An important match for Simba to seek the final in the only competition that can give Simba a trophy this season
It will not be an easy game as it is a derby that brings together teams that have the same chance at the end of this season
As with Simba, Azam Fc have made a big investment in their team, however that investment did not give them the success they expected
The only hope they have is to win the FA Cup, for them this could be the biggest match of the season
For recent seasons, Azam Fc have been difficult every time they face Simba. In two Premier League matches, Azam Fc won one game and forced a draw in the other
The last time the teams met in the FA Cup, Simba won 1-0 in the semi-final in 2021
Simba head coach Robertinho Oliveira put a lot of effort into this game, giving rest to his key stars in the previous Premier League game against Namungo
It is the environment that makes this game important for Robertinho and his technical bench, because if the result is different from victory, they will be under hot seat following the decisions they made in the game against Namungo
The draw against Namungo Fc is like it eliminated Simba from the Premier League Championship race and now hope remains in FA
Simba fans cannot be proud of anything this season if their team does not win the FA Cup
