The draw for the group stage of the champions league was held today where Yanga was drawn in group A with the teams of TP Mazembe, Al Hilal and MC Alger
This is a group that if coach Miguel Gamondi plays his cards well, Yanga has a good chance of reaching the quarter finals
TP Mazembe and Al Hilal are the teams that seem to be the most threatening while MC Alger are unpredictable
Two seasons ago, Al Hilal eliminated Yanga in the preliminary stages of the Champions League and fell to the Federation Cup where the Citizens were drawn by TP Mazembe in the group stage
This time Yanga is going to face Al Hilal in the group stage but with a stronger squad than the last time the teams met
Last season TP Mazembe played in the semi-finals of this tournament but they are not a team that Yanga can fear because even the Nationals last season could have reached the semi-finals if not for the scandals they faced in the quarter-final game against Mamelodi Sundowns
It is not an easy group but it is also not a group to make the people afraid because there is a chance to go to the quarter finals
