The 1-0 victory against Mashujaa Fc yesterday, has moved the Citizens closer to the premier league championship this season
Yanga has reached 65 points with five matches to conclude this season. Citizens need only eight points to complete the championship calculations regardless of the results of his opponents Azam Fc and Simba
But the victory has also increased the pressure on Azam Fc and Simba who will compete in a game that may also make Yanga announce the championship sooner
The next game for Yanga is Wednesday May 08 against Kagera Sugar, the game is expected to be played at Azam Complex
If Yanga wins the game, will reach 68 points where May 13 will be at Manungu Stadium, Turiani in Morogoro region to face Mtibwa Sugar
Victory in this game will make Yanga reach 71 points which may be enough to give them the championship if Azam Fc and Simba drop points in their next matches
Azam Fc has 54 points and can reach 72 points if they win their remaining six matches while Simba can reach 71 points from their remaining seven matches
Azam Fc will play Mtibwa Sugar in Morogoro today while Simba will face Tabora United at the Azam Complex
After today's matches, Azam na Simba will compete on May 09 at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium
Azam Fc is the team that can delay Yanga to announce the championship but if they lose points in these next two matches, it means that Yanga can announce the championship on May 13 in Manungu because so far Yanga has a goal difference (GD) of 22 more than that of Simba
