It’s a week of breaking the curse, re-writing CAF history
What you need to know:
- Simba will lock horns with the Egyptian side, Al Ahly, the most CAF decorated club, in search of their first semi—final spot having recorded four CAF quarter-final entries for the past five years.
- Another scorecard is Yanga, as a surprise package hailed by the most football pundits, is expected to be firing in all cylinders to also book a space in the coveted semi—final stage for the first time either.
After failing to record a home win in their crucial CAF quarter final first legs at the recently upgraded Benjamin Mkapa Stadium (National Stadium), Dar es Salaam, Kariakoo football giants, Simba and Yanga face a difficult encounters away.
Simba will lock horns with the Egyptian side, Al Ahly, the most CAF decorated club, in search of their first semi—final spot having recorded four CAF quarter-final entries for the past five years. It will be another 90 minutes of hopes for the Simba and Tanzanian football revelers. Simba enters into this game with an aggregate of 1-0 behind, and ready for the next challenge to equate the scoreboard.
Another scorecard is Yanga, as a surprise package hailed by the most football pundits, is expected to be firing in all cylinders to also book a space in the coveted semi—final stage for the first time either. Playing against Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria, South Africa, is an intriguing game of the titans worth watching across the SADC corridor. Yanga meets their opponent with a stalemate aggregate at home ground, putting alive their chances of cruising through into the next stage.
Both sides possess the similar chances of writing a history of their clubs and Tanzania as whole, only if they take these games with hearts of steel, fighting every single second relentlessly as if there’s no more game to play ever in this world.
We have seen them doing not once against other A-list or strong teams in this continental football. It is possible! Yanga will faces Mamelodi Sundowns at 09:00 (EAT) while Simba plays Al Ahly at 11: 00 (EAT).
For the punters, by just looking at the fighting spirits of both squads, they can evidently place their bets and win some cash prizes undoubtedly. But for the records, the CAF knockout games are often goalless, ending up in ties or small wins. These games may advance into 120 minutes or penalty shootouts. Home teams have advantages over their guests.
