Moreover, Zambian striker Obrey Chirwa is a doubt for Mbao clash as he is reportedly responding to treatment after picking up an injury, meaning Azam squad will totally be different.<\/p>\n<p>They however had two build up matches against Trans Camp (0-0) and KMC (1-1) prior to today\u2019s encounter, which gives a chance to other players in the team to reveal their abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Mbao face a daunting task to remain in the top flight league next season as they sit 19th on the log with 23 points hence picking maximum points from every game on their way will help them escape relegation jaws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: AZAM FC in collaboration with the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) will today run a blood donation exercise before their Mainland Premier League match against Mbao FC at Azam Complex this evening.
