Young Africans (Yanga SC) striker Tariq Seif has stated he respects rivals Simba SC a lot but vowed to work hard to help his team emerge as winners if given playing time during the derby clash on Saturday.
The two oldest clubs in the country will meet for the first time this season at the 60,000-capacity National Stadium in Dar es Salaam in a battle between the Mainland Premier League leaders and second place occupants, fighting for maximum points and bragging rights.
Both teams, however, have undergone various transformations in their respective squads and management compared to the last time when they met, in which the first game ended in a goalless draw, while the second match saw Simba winning 1-0.
