Defending NBC Mainland Premier League champions Yanga are in Arusha today to face TRA United in a rescheduled fixture that was postponed from October 13.
The Wananchi will be eager to collect all three points to reduce the gap between themselves and their rivals Simba, who sit at the top of the league standings with a six-point advantage.
However, Yanga head into today’s match at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium mindful of last season’s result, when they dropped two points at the same venue.
Pressure is mounting on the Wananchi, particularly after their defeat to rivals Simba. Today, Yanga fans want just one result: victory.
Yanga arrived in Arusha two days ago with their full squad, and coach Manqoba Mngqithi’s players completed their preparations for the encounter yesterday.
Djigui Diarra could return in goal today after missing Yanga’s recent CAF Champions League matches due to a back problem.
However, Yanga are expected to remain without injured duo Yao Kouassi and Duke Abuya, while Stephane Aziz Ki is completing his suspension following a red card.
