The NBC Premier League continues today as Simba SC travel to Mwanza to face Pamba Jiji in a match scheduled to kick off at 4:00 PM.
It is expected to be a tough encounter between two sides that have historically produced highly competitive and physical matches.
Pamba Jiji have turned CCM Kirumba Stadium into a difficult ground for opponents this season, with the “Cotton Farmers” currently sitting 6th in the league standings.
However, they will be up against a resurgent Simba side that appears more solid and determined to reclaim the league title after missing out for the past four seasons.
Simba arrived in Mwanza the night before last, and yesterday coach Steve Barker’s squad held their final training session at CCM Kirumba Stadium.
Following dropped points by their rivals Yanga in their last two matches, this presents an opportunity for Simba to close the gap between the two teams.
Mathematically, if Simba win all their outstanding matches, the points gap between them and Yanga would be reduced to just one point—setting up a much tighter and more exciting title race this season.
