Yanga will take to the Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha tomorrow, Saturday, to face TRA United in an NBC Mainland Premier League match.
Yanga arrived in Arusha yesterday ahead of the encounter, with the Wananchi needing just one result — victory — to remain in the title race against their rivals Simba.
Yanga head into tomorrow’s match after qualifying for the CAF Champions League group stage, following an emphatic 8-1 aggregate victory over Madagascar’s CFFA.
Coach Manqoba Mngqithi’s players are in high spirits and full of confidence ahead of the encounter, which is scheduled to kick off at 4:00 p.m.
Opponents Boast of Their Chances
As Yanga arrived in Arusha, TRA United spokesperson Christina Mwagala declared that her team was ready to beat Yanga in the match.
Mwagala claimed that Yanga’s current squad is weak, arguing that this gives TRA United a good chance of winning the encounter.
For Yanga, the match presents an opportunity to silence those who believe the defending champions have a weak squad.
Yanga have lost just one league match this season, collecting 18 points from seven games to sit second in the league standings.
