Simba's technical bench under coach Fadlu Davids has made the right decision to ask for an international friendly match to test the team before going to the playoffs to compete for a ticket to the group stage of the CAF Federation Cup
Simba will face Al Hilal in a game that will be played on Saturday, August 31 at the KMC Complex
Al Hilal are participating in the Champions League and have qualified for the preliminary stages where they will play the first round match against San Pedro of the Ivory Coast
The side of Simba, which participates in the Federation Cup, will face Al Ahly Tripoli of Libya in the first leg match played in Libya between September 13-15
Obviously, this match will be the right test for the renewed Simba where it will help coach Fadlu to check how much his team is ready
After the pre-season, Simba has played four competitive matches, two of which are in the Community Shield and two in the major league
In those matches, Simba has won three and lost one (Community Shield against Yanga). Simba has scored eight goals while allowing only one goal to shake his nets
After the match against Al Hilal, Fadlu will have two weeks to prepare his team before facing Al Ahly Tripoli
Therefore, he will have enough time to make further improvements to ensure Simba overcomes Al Ahly Tripoli's stake and enter the CAF CC groups
