Finally the long-awaited day for football fans in the country has arrived
The number one game in the NBC Premier League, Yanga against Simba is being played today at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, starting at 5pm
It is a mathematical game for the coaches of both teams, coach Nasreddine Nabi of Yanga knows if his team emerges with a victory will put them in a very good position to win the Title as they will be on top of the league standings with 16 points margin against their opponents, Simba
Coach Pablo Franco of Simba has been knocked out of the Confederations Cup quarter-finals in South Africa
It's a game that can give him a sense of what they're going to conclude this season
If they lose the game, the low hopes of defending the title will obviously be lost and more they will have to focus on securing second place
But also Pablo's fate is in the hands of this game, a defeat from the Citizens will put him in danger of being shown the door
Despite entering the game with a big advantage, Yanga Assistant Coach Cedric Kaze said they will respect their opponents and not think about the gap they have as they know in any derby match, statistics do not give you the legitimacy to win
He said Yanga will play the regular football, many passes and runs, but they will repect their opponents also have a good team
Pablo has boasted that they have a better squad than Yanga and does not think today's game will be difficult for them
At the end of the day 90 minutes will determine who will cry and who will leave with a laugh!
