Simba SC coach Seven Vandenbroeck has stressed the importance of beating rivals Young Africans (Yanga SC) in the Mainland Premier League derby on Saturday.
The two Tanzanian giants will meet for the first time this season, with Yanga yet to lose a match and sitting ahead of the Wekundu wa Msimbazi on the 18-team league table.
While Simba suffered back-to-back defeats against Tanzania Prisons and Ruvu Shooting, Yanga have been on a winning run of three matches, which was, however, halted on Tuesday after they battled to a 0-0 draw with promoted side Gwambina FC.
