The NBC Premier League continues today with Matchday 25 action as defending champions Yanga SC prepare to face Namungo FC at KMC Complex.
It is another crucial match for the Citizens as they seek three important points to return to the top of the league standings.
Following rivals Simba SC’s 1–0 victory over Dodoma Jiji yesterday, Yanga cannot afford to drop points against Namungo if they are to reclaim their position at the summit.
It is expected to be a difficult encounter for Yanga, with history showing that matches between the two sides are often highly competitive.
Yanga’s Head of Information and Communications, Ali Kamwe, described the fixture as a “small derby” and called on fans to turn out in large numbers to support the team.
Yanga will enter today’s match without attacking midfielder Pacome Zouzoua, who suffered a knee injury during the previous match against Singida Black Stars.
However, Yanga coach Abdihamid Moalin has stated that the injury is not too serious and that the Ivory Coast star is expected to return to action soon.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 PM.
