Simba SC head coach Steve Barker says victory over Azam FC is important to the club’s ambitions this season, while admitting that the team has had limited time to prepare for the encounter.
Barker said Simba did not have much time to prepare after their previous match, but that would not reduce the importance of securing a positive result against Azam FC. “We had little time to prepare after our last match, but this game is important for us to get a win and achieve our objectives for the season,” Barker said.
The coach added that Simba are determined to improve on their results against Azam from last season, when they dropped a combined four points across their two Premier League meetings. Barker said they want to perform better against the same opponents this season.
The sixth-round NBC Premier League fixture will see Azam FC host Simba SC at Azam Complex. Simba enter the match having made a strong start to the season, while Azam are also among the teams competing near the top of the table.
