A win or draw against RS Berkane in Morocco today will see Simba set a record of being the first Tanzanian team not to lose their first three group stage matches for two consecutive seasons in the Africa competitions
Last season, Simba did not lose all three of their first group matches in the Champions League where they started with a 1-0 win over AS Vita away, beat Al Ahly 1-0 and then came out to a goalless draw in the third match against Al Merrikh.
And this time, despite participating in the group stage of the Confederations Cup, they did not lose the first two Group D matches starting with a 3-1 win at home against Asec Mimosas and then a 1-1 draw with the US Gendarmerie Nationale.
Simba coach Pablo Franco said they are looking for a win or draw away
Since last season, Simba have been dangerous in away games at the International competitions losing just one game against Al Ahly in the group stage
Today the players have a job to do to make sure they do not lose the game against RS Berkane despite the fact that the match is expected to be fiercely contested
