The first of two encounters in the CAF Confederations Cup Play-offs, as the hometeam Simba will try to edge Red Arrows in their own ballpark.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
