This Saturday, December 02 at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, Yanga will host Al Ahly in the second round of the group stage of the CAF Champions League
This is an important match for Yanga to seek victory in order to keep alive the hope of competing for a place in the quarter finals of the Champions League
Obviously it will not be an easy game, Al Ahly are the defending champions of the Champions League and this season they have started the campaign to defend their title beating Medeama 3-0 in the last game
The sure thing is that the game will be difficult but Yanga has never been weak in front of Al Ahly
If you look at the last four matches, Yanga won one match and Al Ahly won two matches while the teams drew one match
In 2014, Yanga and Al Ahly met in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Yanga winning 1-0 at home and Al Ahly getting a similar victory for them and later Yanga being eliminated from the competition through a penalty shootout challenge
The last time the teams met in the Champions League was in 2016, the first game played in Dar ended with a 1-1 draw and Al Ahly won 2-1 in the return game played in Egypt
Yanga has never lost a game against Al Ahly when playing at home in Benjamin Mkapa's stadium
This time Yanga welcomes back Al Ahly to Mkapa, probably better than ever
After losing the last game against CR Belouizdad, Yanga needs to win this game
