On paper though, the hosts have been given a big chance to produce good results as they will enjoy full backing from their home fans who in a game of football play a vital role but all those are merely assumptions.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking yesterday all the way from Egypt, Azam Information Officer Thabit Zakaria cemented that all is well among their players such that they are looking forward to the big match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a big game which requires adequate preparations. We have had enough rehearsals such that we are just waiting for the encounter to begin and it will kickoff at 10:00pm,\u201d said him.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the issue is slightly different to other confederation cup representatives Biashara United who going into today\u2019s match, they have a two goal advantage they netted in the first leg.<\/p>\n<p>If they manage to hold on, they will definitely cruise into the next phase of the competition but, in reality, this match will be difficult regardless the tangible outcome recorded by United. In their three preliminary round fixtures, the Mara based outfits have not conceded any goal and have netted five goals which is a remarkable performance from them despite making their debut in the event.<\/p>\n<p>As such, Patrick Odhiambo\u2019s men have a big opportunity to sail into the next round at the away territory but they always need to be watchful throughout the normal period of play since in a game of football, the impossibles happen sometimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
