In what is expected to be an exciting and competitive match, Tanzania's Simba SC welcome South African visitors, Stellenbosch FC, to the historic New Amaan Complex for the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final.
It is a big and important match for Simba to win to put themselves in a good position to reach the final of the tournament and repeat what they did in 1993.
Playing an international match for the first time in the Zanzibar islands, Simba is expected to receive a huge fan support with the New Amaan Complex stadium expected to be a 'full house'.
Since it is a match that Simba needs to win at home, Coach Fadlu Davids will obviously go in with his attacking system, relying on striker Steven Mukwala to lead the attack.
The Mganda will be assisted by Elie Mpanzu, Kibu Denis, and Jean Charles Ahoua while the central area is expected to be under the supervision of midfielders Fabrice Ngoma and Yusuf Kagoma
The defense will continue to be strong led by the experienced Shomari Kapombe, Mohammed Hussein, Abdulrazak Hamza, and Carabou Chamou, while Simba are expected to skillfully use the home advantage
However, it is clear that it will not be an easy match as despite Stellenbosch being new visitors to the international tournament, they have surprised many with their excellent form this season
The South African team has shown great quality, especially when they knocked out defending champions Zamalek in the quarter-finals - an act that has made them taken very seriously now
