For now, all players are injury free looking forward to the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing at this juncture is to qualify and I believe that our players can do better than what they did in Botswana,\u201d Hitimana remarked.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, full-back Shomari Kapombe also reiterated that what they want to achieve after the normal period of play is to claim a victory in order to proceed further into the contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur fans wherever they are, they should have a trust in us that we are 100 per cent ready to do the intended job.<\/p>\n<p>We have forgotten the results we posted in the previous game as such; we will go into tomorrow\u2019s (today) match as if it was the first leg,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the two away goals helped them a lot to believe that they are on the right path to jump into the group stage even though they know that their opponents will come with a different game plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we manage to make it into the last 16, it will be a big achievement for me personally and the entire team bearing in mind that we are all thirsty to go beyond this stage,\u201d Kapombe said.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 2014, Jwaneng Galaxy are just a young team in comparison with Simba and do not have that scary record in International matches but they are not to be underestimated as football has cruel results other times.<\/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.
