Simba SC’s opponents, Mighty Wanderers, are expected to arrive in Tanzania today from Malawi ahead of their CAF Champions League preliminary-round second leg, scheduled for Sunday at Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Mighty Wanderers face a major task after losing the first leg 1-0 at home in Malawi.
The result puts Simba in a strong position heading into the return leg, with the Reds of Msimbazi needing another victory or even a draw to secure qualification for the first round of the competition.
Simba Continue Preparations
As Mighty Wanderers prepare to arrive in Tanzania today, Simba are continuing their preparations at MO Simba Arena, with the aim of completing the job in front of their home supporters.
Steve Barker’s squad have stepped up preparations for the match, with their focus on securing a result that will allow Simba to progress in their pursuit of success in African club competitions.
The away victory has given Simba an important advantage, but the technical bench recognises that the full 90 minutes of the second leg must still be approached with maximum concentration.
Fans Urged to Fill Uhuru Stadium
Simba Information and Communications Manager Ahmed Ali has urged the club’s supporters to continue purchasing tickets in large numbers to ensure Uhuru Stadium is packed on Sunday.
Simba expect to draw significant strength from their supporters in the match, with a large turnout expected to boost the players’ motivation as they push for victory and a place in the next round.
