The two outfits will take on each other in the only league action set to attract the attention of many people with both sides keen on grabbing maximum points.
Yanga takes on Namungo FC after showcasing a stellar performance in the 2023/24 CAF Champions League Second Preliminary Round clash against Sudan’s Al Merrikh in Kigali, Rwanda, climaxing with Yanga defeating Al Merrikh 2-0.
Namungo FC, under the tutelage of the former Yanga assistant coach Cedric Kaze, is yet to stamp a league victory this season as the side is sitting 15th, hence, this is an opportunity for the Lindi-based club to upset the defending champion.
Speaking on the situation and development of his squad Gamondi disclosed some of his players are tired and injured but, due to squad depth, he is sure to use the remaining ones.
The coach noted: "We started preparations for our game against Namungo On Monday, we have some players who are tired and others who have injuries but I have faith in the players on the bench because I know they can give us positive results."
Gamondi stated: "I have heard many talking about the quality of some players, but for me, my vision is not individual players but the whole team. That's why you will notice our team plays a good game, and any player can score."
The Argentine coach also emphasized that he has built a team based on all players and not individuals after several players make it into the starting XI every week.
The gaffer pointed out: "I have created an environment to have a team with a good balance in every department, we have scored many goals but we have also allowed only one goal in seven games, again a penalty goal which was our fault."
"Now, to be balanced and like that, you must build a team that depends on each other and not a team that depends on a certain person in a certain department," the tactician stated.
He also lauded his players and technical bench on collective respect and togetherness after winning six games from seven games and losing one on penalties against Simba for the community shield.
The Argentine added: "The first thing I have focused on is that the players respect each other, secondly the players respect my philosophies, you cannot be a good coach if the players don't respect them.”
“The current positive results are due to the efforts of the players and the technical bench," the tactician noted.
Yanga is currently the leading goal-scoring team in the league with 10 goals from two games while keeping a clean sheet in both games, opponents Namungo FC lost the squad’s first match against JKT Tanzania 1-0 and drew 1-1 with Kinondoni Municipal Council FC.
In the last five games, Namungo FC failed to beat Yanga as they lost three fixtures and drew two encounters in the Premier League.
