Simba will today take to the pitch at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium to conclude their CAF Champions League (CAFCL) group stage campaign by hosting Stade Malien.
The match brings together two teams that have each earned what they deserved from this season’s competition.
Stade Malien sit at the top of Group D with 11 points. They have delivered consistent performances across all five group matches, winning three and drawing two.
Malien are the only unbeaten team in Group D. For Simba, however, it has been a very difficult Champions League campaign.
So far, they have not registered a single win, losing three matches and drawing two, collecting just two points and sitting at the bottom of Group D.
Simba head coach Steve Barker said they will use the match as part of strengthening his squad, but most importantly, he is targeting a victory to avoid finishing the group stage without a win.
Simba showed encouraging performance in their previous away match against Petro Atletico, raising hopes among the fans that the team will shine against Stade Malien and secure all three points.
