Yanga Head coach Nasreddine Nabi today leads his team in the ninth derby match against Simba
A match which will be played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium at 5 pm, is of special importance for Yanga to win to secure the NBC premier league championship early
The good news for Nabi and the technical bench is that all his key players are ready to be used in the game
Those will be missing are goalkeeper Aboutwalib Mshery (injured) and defender Mamadou Doumbia who has traveled to Mali to mourn the loss of his father
Nabi has been unpredictable due to the change of his team from one game to another
This is the advantage of having a wider squad compared to his opponent Robertinho Oliveira whose squad is known even before it is announced
It is clear today that Nabi will start with a team that is ready to play fast football to exploit the weaknesses of Simba's defense
But also Yanga today needs to be strong in the midfield area to ensure that they do not give an opening to Simba's chefs who are Saido Ntibazonkiza and Clatous Chama
Nabi may today use the squad he used in the game against US Monastir by starting Kennedy Musonda, Fiston Mayele and Jesus Moloko in the attack line
With Yannick Bangala, Khalid Aucho and Salum Abubakar 'Sure Boy' in the midfield while Djigui Diarra, Juma Shaban, Joyce Lomalisa, Ibrahim Bacca/Dickson Job and Bakari Mwamnyeto at the defensive line
Stephane Aziz Ki, Mudathir Yahya and Bernard Morrison may also have a chance in the game in which Yanga is looking for a victory to close the league championship early
Yanga today will be in with lucky kit, BLACK
