Last season, Young Africans (Yanga) began their campaign away in Kagera, where they defeated Kagera Sugar 2-0.
Maxi Nzengeli and Clement Mzize scored the goals for Yanga in that match played at Kaitaba Stadium.
This season, the Wananchi will kick off at home in Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, facing Pamba Jiji in a clash scheduled for tonight at 9:00 PM.
The biggest anticipation among Yanga fans is seeing which player will open the club’s goal tally for the new season.
Nzengeli scored the first goal of last season, with Mzize adding the second and later the 83rd goal in a campaign that saw Yanga secure their fourth consecutive league title.
Unfortunately for Mzize, he is likely to miss out today after sustaining an injury during the CAF Champions League match against Wiliete in Angola last week.
All other stars are ready for the encounter, which will provide a glimpse of Yanga’s ambitions for the season.
