Should they be given respect, or should Yanga SC take hem head-on?

That is the big question being discussed among Yanga fans ahead of their crucial clash against Azam FC at the New Amaan Complex.

After Azam FC eliminated Yanga with a 3-2 victory in the CRDB Bank Federation Cup semi-final, many within the Citizens' camp have begun to wonder whether their opponents deserve more respect than they were previously given.

Azam have proven that they are no longer a team to be underestimated, boasting a strong squad and being guided by coach Florent Ibenge, who approaches matches without significant pressure. On the other hand, Yanga will be relying on key stars such as Maxi Nzengeli, Stephane Aziz Ki Pacome Zouzoua, Khalid Aucho Abuya, and Kennedy Musonda Okello to ensure the events of the previous encounter are not repeated.

All eyes will now be on New Amaan Complex to see whether Yanga adopt a more cautious approach against Azam FC or attack with confidence, believing their quality can decide the match.

The question remains the same: Do Azam FC deserve greater respect, or should Yanga treat them like any other opponent?
