Young Africans (Yanga SC) head coach Miloud Hamdi has called on his players to be cautious and psychologically prepared for their remaining matches of the season starting with their Mainland Premier League fixture against Tanzania Prisons on Wednesday.

The fixture at Sokoine Stadium in Mbeya marks a critical point in the title race as the Citizens seek to defend their crown for the fourth consecutive season. With only three matches left to conclude the season, including the Kariakoo derby, Hamdi has stressed the importance of his players staying focused and doing the job.

“We are facing four finals, starting with today’s game against Tanzania Prisons,” Hamdi said ahead of the game. “We must win all these games to successfully defend our title. Every player knows what is at stake. We have prepared thoroughly from a tactical and technical perspective to ensure we walk away with all three points.”

He continued: “I don’t care how our opponents have prepared. We haven’t come to Mbeya for a sightseeing tour; we came here to take three points. We’re focused, and we know what we need to do. There’s no room for anything less than victory.

“We expect a tough match. We’re up against a well-organised team that knows the league well. But we have done the kind of preparation required to win a game like this.”

Yanga are currently topping the 16-team league table with 73 points, while rivals Simba SC are lying second one point less.
