Yanga's 1-0 win against Ihefu Fc yesterday has made the Citizens continue to maintain the top stop of the league standings with a difference of nine points after reaching 53 points
Simba in second place, have 44 points with one match against Mbeya City which was supposed to be played today
However, the League Board moved the game forward until January 18 as Simba are late to return from Dubai where they had camped. The reason that has surprised many as that the Simba camp should not disturb the schedules as they knew the schedule and it was their will to travel while the league was going on
Many remember that Yanga was refused to postpone a game against Kagera Sugar played at the CCM Kirumba stadium on November 12th. Yanga played against Club Africain on November 09th and traveled for two days from Tunisia and landed in Dar es Salaam on November 11th afternoon
They traveled to Mwanza on the night of November 11th and November 12th and played against Kagera Sugar in a game that Yanga managed to win 1-0
Let's get rid of that uncertainty about the schedule, since Yanga lost the first round game against Ihefu Fc, they have won eight games in a row!
The Citizens have won seven Premier League games and one FA Cup game, collecting 21 points in those seven league games
Mathematically if the Citizens can win another eight games (including the game against Simba) then they will guarantee to defend their championship for the second season in a row
In the remaining 10 matches, seven matches are expected to be played at Benjamin Mkapa's stadium
