After being knocked out of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals by Wydad Casablanca and finishing behind Young Africans in the league, Simba SC went trophyless for the second season in a row. Simba, who scored (75) goals and conceded seventeen times, had the best-attacking performances and defence.
Simba began this season with a great display against their arch-rival Young Africans in the community shield, winning (1-3) on penalties. It’s a good start for Simba, who must now build on the success to outmuscle Young Africans in the race to win the Ligi Kuu Bara Trophy.
Dodoma Jiji
The visitors began their journey with a (2-1) victory over Coastal Union. Dodoma Jiji came from a goal down to secure the maximum points against a formidable opponent.
The home side struggled throughout their league campaign last season, picking up thirty-seven points from a combined ninety. They survived the relegation playoff with just five points while conceding thirty-seven times. Dodoma Jiji drew the third-fewest games (4) last season.
Dodoma Jiji were poor on the road last season, winning five of their fifteen games on their ground. It will be a long season, but we expect them to at least finish strong this season.
