Simba SC head coach Fadlu Davids described this weekend’s Kariakoo Derby clash against fiercest rivals Young Africans SC as a six-pointer but not a league decider.
The Reds of Msimbazi have started the season very well after winning four of their first five matches and occupying the second place. Yanga on the other hand are still playing catch-up with a game in hand and are in fifth place having scored eight goals and are yet to concede in the league this term.
