At 7p.m., the Citizens will be at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium to face US Monastir in the CAF Confederations Cup game, which after 90 minutes, Yanga would have the ticket to reach the quarter-finals.
Yanga Head Coach Nasreddine Nabi yesterday noted that despite the fact that they need to win the game, they will play cautiously and carefully to ensure they do not give US Monastir a chance to score early.
In the four matches they played in group D, Monastir scored a goal within the first 15 minutes in the match against Yanga and TP Mazembe who scored twice
Monastir have scored in every game while allowing only one goal to shake their nets
They start the match at a high speed and when they manage to score then they go back to defend the victory and use surprise attacks
But also the main weapon of this team is free kicks, be it a corner or a penalty, they score a lot of headers through those balls
Yanga remembers what happened in Tunisia in the first game, Monastir played that match for only about 20 minutes
Within that time they managed to score two goals both from headers
Nabi has said that they have done a lot of work on the training grounds, he is confident that today his players will be careful in dealing with that kind of balls
Yanga has set a record of its kind in the matches they played in the Mkapa tournament. Within 10 minutes they have scored goals in the match against TP Mazembe and Real Bamako
If Yanga scores an early goal today, it is clear that they will upset Monastir who are looking for at least one point to ensure they finish at the top of the group
It will be a tough match but if the fans turn out in large numbers for the Mkapa tournament and cheer strongly, Monastir may face a more difficult 90 minutes
