The NBC Premier League continues today with defending champions Yanga SC in Lindi region to face Namungo FC in a match set to be played at Majaliwa Stadium in Ruangwa.
Yanga arrived early yesterday and later in the evening completed their final training session at Majaliwa Stadium, where the match will kick off at 7:00 PM.
It is clear this will not be an easy encounter, as Namungo have a history of giving Wananchi a difficult time whenever the two sides meet.
Namungo currently sit fifth in the league standings with 20 points. Their top scorer so far is striker Fabrice Ngoy, who has netted seven goals in 14 league matches.
For Yanga, this is a crucial fixture as they aim to secure three points to strengthen their bid to defend the league title this season.
Wananchi are currently third on the table with 22 points from eight matches, and a victory would see them move up to second place.
Yanga will be without striker Prince Dube, who sustained an injury in their previous CRDB Cup match against Cosmopolitan.
However, Laurindo Aurelio “Depu,” who has scored three goals in two league matches, is expected to lead the attacking line.
Other Yanga players set to miss the match due to injuries and illness include Clement Mzize, Kibwana Shomari, Aboutwalib Mshery, Edmund John, and Aziz Andabwile.
