Last season, the first match of the group stage of the Champions League, Yanga started away against CR Belouizdad, the people accepting a 3-0 defeat
It was not a good start for Yanga which was forced to a 1-1 draw against Al Ahly before being forced to another draw against Medeama and then winning the next two matches against Medeama and CR Belouizdad to secure a place in the quarter finals

It is in the season that Yanga played in the final of the Federation Cup and missed the cup according to the rules after a 2-2 draw in two finals matches against USM Alger
This time, Yanga starts at home in the Champions League group stage against Al Hilal, the game will be played on November 26 at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium
These statistics from the last two seasons have given Coach Miguel Gamondi a light for the game against Al Hilal
Gamondi led the Yanga team last season in Algeria when they lost 3-0 against CR Belouizdad
This time Yanga needs to start well at home by winning to end the 'nightmare' of losing the first match in the championship
