Match 3- Saturday, 14 Sept
Sokoine Stadium, Mbeya
1600hrs
Newly promoted Mbeya City will be targeting their second successive home win as they seek to upset Yanga in the Vodacom Premiership clash to be played at the Sokoine Stadium in Mbeya.
Mbeya City are yet to lose after two rounds of matches. They have won one and drawn the other against Kagera Sugar. Stakes have been upped by Philipo Mulugo who has promised to reward the new boys if they emerge victors against the defending champions.
They have been fortunate enough to play all their first three matches at home in front of a passionate crowd. Their next three fixtures see them take Mtibwa Sugar and Simba (Both away) and Coastal Union (Home).
Defending league champions, Young Africans will be raring to bounce back after being denied victory in the last minute of the match against Tanga based side, Coastal Union. They began the league on a high note, thumping another promoted side, Ashanti United 5-1 in Dar.
The late arrival of Jangwani's favourite midfielder and Rwandan Import, Haruna Niyonzima coupled with the return from injuries of key players has uplifted the morale of the squad.
Young Africans cannot afford to lose as they face two tricky upcoming matches. They will battle against Tanzania Prisons four days later in the same venue before facing title-hungry Azam in Dar.
The two sides have never met before but Sokoine is a familiar ground to Young Africans. The visitors fans are expected to outnumber the home fans who have shifted their loyalty from supporting the disappointing army side, Tanzania Prisons to the new Councillors' boys.
Yanga's previous match line-up:Ally Mustapha, Juma Abdul, David Luhende,Nadir Haroub, Mbuyu Twite, Salum Telela (Hamisi Thabit 45’), Simon Msuva, Frank Domayo, Didier Kavumbagu,Jerson Tegete (Hussein Javu 45’), Haruna Niyonzima
