The excitement of the NBC Premier League continues today as defending champions Yanga are in Mwanza for a match against Pamba Jiji.
It is an important game for the Wananchi as they seek all three points to strengthen their position at the top of the league standings. However, they face a team that has built an impressive home record.
This season, Pamba Jiji have not lost any match at CCM Kirumba Stadium, managing to secure draws against Dar es Salaam giants Simba and Azam FC.
For Yanga, three points would be highly significant in their quest to defend the title for a fifth consecutive season.
After their rivals Simba dropped points in their match against Azam FC, it serves as motivation for the defending champions to push for victory against Pamba Jiji and capitalize on that result.
Yanga arrived in Mwanza the night before last, and yesterday the squad had the opportunity to hold their final training session at CCM Kirumba Stadium.
Yanga coach Pedro Goncalves admitted that his players will need to be at their best to win the match.
Goncalves emphasized that Yanga are not at the top of the league table by chance, but due to the strength of their squad, and they are going into the match determined to secure all three points.
