After a break of nearly two weeks, defending NBC Premier League champions Yanga return to action today as they host Tanzania Prisons at the KMC Complex.
It has been over 270 minutes since Yanga last secured a league victory, making it clear they will step onto the pitch with strong determination to claim all three points.
They face a Tanzania Prisons side that has shown improvement since the arrival of coach Chadrack Nsajigwa. The last time the two teams met, at Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma, Yanga secured a narrow 1-0 win courtesy of a goal by Depu in the 80th minute.
Tanzania Prisons are in a difficult position on the league table, making every match crucial for their survival, while Yanga are fully aware that dropping points today could jeopardize their position at the top of the standings.
Good news for Yanga is the return of several injured players, including key first-team stars such as Ibrahim Bacca, Prince Dube, and Depu, who missed the final matches before the FIFA international break.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 PM and is one of three Premier League fixtures taking place today.
In other matches, Mashujaa FC will face Pamba Jiji at 10:00 PM, while Namungo FC will take on JKT Tanzania at 3:00 PM.
