Saturday October 19 Simba will host Yanga in the NBC premier league game that will be played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium
After missing the premier league title for three seasons, this season the newly remade Simba has only one 'mission', to regain the Msimbazi championship
The match against Yanga is one of the most important matches in which Simba needs all three points in order to keep the championship numbers good
Yanga has been the main league champion for three consecutive seasons and they still seem to have a strong squad
So Simba's determination to win the championship this season should be seen from next Saturday in the game against Yanga. But also in recent seasons, Simba has not done very well against Yanga in the league
If you take the statistics of the last 10 matches, you will see that Simba has won one match, while five matches were drawn and Yanga won four matches
On Saturday, Coach Fadlu Davids will lead Simba in the second game against Yanga, with the memory of losing the semi-final of the Community Shield
Despite losing the Community Shield game, his team gave strong opposition to Yanga in that game in which Simba lost 1-0
This time, Fadlu's team has improved more compared to when the teams met in August
For Simba this is a match to take all three points, Simba does not need a draw or a loss. Perhaps the result of a loss could be worse as it will upset the calculation in the championship race very early
Fadlu has promised, they will be different on Saturday, they are going to play that match as if it is the last match in their life in football
In the interview that the players did at the Simba Media Day, they all showed that they have great enthusiasm for the game to show that Simba is now ripe
