- Tanzania Vs Lesotho – Azam stadium Complex, Chamazi at 8pm
Mbwana Ally Samatta has called on his teammates to fight for maximum points against Lesotho as they open their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at Azam stadium Complex, Chamazi.
Tanzania, in the same group with Uganda and Cape Verde who face off in Praia on the same day says collecting maximum points will be crucial in their opening match.
“From the goalkeeper to forwards, we must focus on ensuring Lesotho is beaten,” the KRC Genk striker told a press briefing on Friday.
Samatta who linked up with the team in Dar es Salaam straight from Belgium also feels the one week camp in Egypt made the preparations even better.
I and my teammates have prepared well for the game. The camp in Egypt was good and left everyone in good shape.
Meanwhile, Coach Salum Yanga says his side respects Lesotho but is confident of a win.
The team finished safe practice this morning, the situation of everyone is good and I’m confident we will do well and get the victory though we respect Lesotho.
Tanzanian haven’t been at the finals since 1980.
