Looking at the standing of NBC Premier League, Yanga is at the top of the league for several months now leading by eight points margin against second-placed Simba
Simba have one game to play and even if they win they will have a five-point debt to reach Yanga
Last season also Yanga led the league for a long time but they could not keep up the pace until the end and Simba managed to win the title for the fourth consecutive season
Interviewed by Wasafi FM during yesterday's sports program, Simba Information Officer Ahmed Ally used what happened last season to reassure Simba fans that even this season things will be the same
"Our time to lead the league has not yet come. It is normal for them to lead at these times but soon they will start dropping points and then we take our place until we secure the fifth title," said Ahmed
However, Yanga spokesperson Haji Manara responded to the statement by noting that this season is completely different from last season
Manara said they are really determined to make sure what happened last season does not repeat, they also have a better team than any other team
"They are very knowledgeable, Yanga is twice as good a team as they are by all statistics. We are well organized and well aware of their 'chupli' methods and tactics that they have been using"
"Football is not a game of similar events that yesterday is today and today is tomorrow, 90 minutes is what determines the winner," said Manara
This season Yanga boasts the best offensive line where according to statistics Yanga is the team that has scored more goals than any other team, also the team that has conceded fewer goals
Fiston Mayele is the leading scorer with six goals, closely followed by Feisal Salum (4), Saido Ntibazonikza (4) and Jesus Moloko (3)
Yanga's challenge last season was in the attacking zone as the team was not scoring enough goals and leading to many games ending in a draw
This season Yanga has scored an average of two goals in each game
