The group-stage battles of the CAF Champions League continue today, with Simba Sports Club playing away in Mali against Stade Malien.
This is a second-round match in Group D, scheduled to kick off at 7:00 PM Tanzanian time, which is 4:00 PM in Mali.
After losing their opening group match, Simba need a victory today in order to climb to second place in Group D standings.
The 1–1 draw between Petro Atletico and Esperance can be seen as a result that offers Simba some relief in their quest for a quarterfinal ticket.
However, Simba’s players under manager Dimitar Pantev must win today to benefit from that result.
It is clear that this will not be an easy match. Stade Malien will be playing in front of their home supporters, and their previous away draw against Esperance may boost their confidence.
Simba’s Assistant Coach, Selemani Matola, has said that the team is well-prepared and will fight to ensure they walk away with all three points.
This match is being played on the same day Simba members are gathering for the club’s Annual General Meeting, which is taking place at the Diamond Jubilee Hall from 9:00 AM.
