Dar es Salaam derby closes out season – live on DStv’s SuperSport
 
The 2012-2013 Tanzanian Vodacom Premier League comes to a thrilling climax on Saturday 18 May as champions elect Yanga face-off with arch nemesis Simba live on your World of Champions.
With Yanga having already won the league title, Saturday will be all about settling a score and bragging rights as the country’s two most successful clubs come head-to-head at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
For Yanga, the derby will be all about revenge. Simba thrashed them 5-0 last season to confirm their championship win and Yanga will hope to get their own back with a similarly huge win to crown off a fantastic season in which they dominated local proceedings.
For Simba, it has been a poor season by their high standards, they’ve placed second fiddle to their age-old foes and the weekend they’ll just be showing up to honour the fixture list and the not so small matters of pride and bragging rights. Earlier in the season they played out a 1-all stalemate.
With so much pressure on the game, both teams have camped away from the capital with Yanga camping in Pemba while Simba are in Zanzibar.
SuperSport’s Ugandan presenter Andrew Kabuura will be on duty while renowned commentator Bernard Otieno and former Harambee Stars coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee will do commentary in English. Tanzania is the home of Swahili and the local duo of Clifford Ndimbo and Florian Kaijage will provide Swahili commentary for the big clash.
