The Champions League game against Medeama today will be like a final, especially considering that Yanga desperately needs three points like their opponents, Medeama Fc
The game will be played at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, which is a city that is estimated to have 3.348 million people according to the 2020 census in the country.
Yanga coach Miguel Gamondi, despite admitting that the game will be difficult, said that they are organized and will play with discipline and make plans to eliminate Medeama's victory points.
Outside Yanga's rich field, Ghalib Said Mohamed 'GSM' and the club's leadership have played the match intelligently, making serious promises. If Yanga wins every goal in the game will be bought for Sh100 million and the final number of those goals will have an extra Sh200 million
However, Yanga is aware that their goals will not be achieved easily as Medeama is not an easy team at home, records showing that in their last three Champions League matches they have won all of them against Remo Stars (1-0), Horoya AC (3 -1) and Belouizdad (2-1).
Yanga will also remember that the last time they met Medeama in the country on July 26, 2016 in the return group game of the African Confederation Cup, they conceded a 3-1 defeat.
Yanga can still regain its dominance in away matches today after losing the previous game against CR Belouizdad
Before the 3-0 defeat from Belouizdad, Yanga had played seven CAF matches without losing away from home
But also the game is played in a field that even Medeama is not their home field. Medeama's home stadium was rejected by CAF after it lacked the necessary criteria and thus had to play their home matches at Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi
Yanga is one of the best teams in Africa at the moment, today is another day to demonstrate that quality
