Simba SC are in Morogoro, where they will face Mtibwa Sugar this evening at 10:00 p.m. at Jamhuri Stadium in a crucial NBC Premier League encounter.
The match is part of Matchweek 28 and is one of the final three fixtures of the 2025/26 season.
Simba are targeting only one result in Morogoro — victory — as they seek to keep alive their hopes of winning a league title that has eluded them for the past four seasons.
While Simba take on Mtibwa Sugar, their rivals Yanga will be facing Azam FC in Zanzibar. Should Azam FC secure another victory over Yanga, following their recent win in the CRDB Federation Cup semi-final, a Simba victory would see the Msimbazi Reds move to the top of the league table.
Simba head coach Steve Barker has insisted that his players must focus solely on winning their own matches, regardless of results elsewhere, as the team aims to collect the maximum nine points from their remaining three games.
Simba arrived in Morogoro yesterday and completed their final preparations at Jamhuri Stadium ahead of the important fixture.
The match is expected to be challenging, as Mtibwa Sugar are also desperate for points in their fight to avoid the relegation play-off places or automatic relegation.
However, the hosts will need to produce one of their best performances of the season to get a result against a Simba side that has won eight consecutive matches across all competitions.
