AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> SIMBA Head Coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa has urged his players to forget about 1-0 win they registered against AS Vita and focus on their Premier League match against Biashara United on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The defending champions get back into league action this afternoon facing Biashara United at CCM Karume Stadium in Musoma, Mara looking forward to bag maximum three points to keep chasing for the title as the splint get hot.<\/p>\n

A win to Simba will take them to 42 points and cement their target of retaining the championship at the end of the marathon which is getting hot match after match. But speaking recently, the French trainer predicted a difficult encounter as such, he called on his players to forget their recent 1-0 triumph over AS Vita in CAF Champions League.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already know that it is a very important match but it will be very tough. I have asked players to forget about our victory over AS Vita and focus on this game because it will help us to reach our target,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that players are motivated and focused to fight for three points while disclosing that some players will miss the game due to various reasons. In another development, Simba confirmed that six of their players and the team\u2019s manager are still in DR Congo as they were not permitted to leave after testing positive to Covid-19.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s Information Officer Haji Manara named the players as Jonas Mkude, Erasto Nyoni, Larry Bwalya, Kennedy Juma, Ame Ibrahim, Ally Salim and manager Abbas Ally. Meanwhile, in his recent remarks, Biashara United\u2019s Head of Communication and Marketing Idrisa Sechambo vowed that his side will shine over Simba in today\u2019s battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have put in place necessary measures to make sure that we collect maximum three points from each game to be played at our venue Karume Stadium beginning with Simba match,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that to achieve their mission of excelling in every home game, they have come up with the theme \u2018You Are Now Entering Karume Stadium\u2019 saying that alone is a good reminder for all incoming clubs to never expect a win there.<\/p>\n

Statistically, he disclosed that out of eight matches they played in the first round of the league, they won five encounters, recorded two draws and losing one game in the process.<\/p>\n

Francis Baraza\u2019s men are placed fourth on the ladder with 32 points, one point behind third placed side Azam FC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
