Simba head coach Abdelhak Benchikha has a heavy task to get the Reds of Msimbazi to the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League
Simba faces a difficult 180 minutes against Wydad Athletic of Morocco in two matches that will decide the fate of the giants of football in the East and Central Africa region
Last season, Simba had a bad start in two group stage matches, losing all of them, but managed to qualify for the quarter-finals by winning three matches
This season has also not started well as it has drawn the first two matches and collected only two points, now occupying third place in the standings of group B
It goes up against Wydad in a more difficult situation, having lost both of its opening matches
The first game will be played on December 09 in Morocco and the second game will be played on December 20 in Dar es Salaam
Simba need at least four points from these two matches to keep alive their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals
Benchikha did not have a bad start in his duties with Simba despite his team being forced to a draw against Jwaneng Galaxy on Saturday
Simba showed a big change in the away game, dominated and created many chances to score
Having a lot of experience in CAF competitions, there is no doubt under Benchikha, Simba can be safe in the matches against Wydad
