Friday will be a decisive day in the respective continental campaigns of Yanga and Masandawana.
After playing out a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final last weekend, the outcome of the tie will depend on what transpires at Loftus Versfeld this Friday.
During the match at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, the Tanzanian Mainland Premier League champions were without some key players, one of which was former Baroka FC midfielder Khalid Aucho.
According to The Citizen, the Uganda international sustained a knee injury in a league clash against Mashujaa at the beginning of February and had been sidelined ever since, but Yanga boss Miguel Gamondi has now given a positive update regarding the 30-year-old's availability for the upcoming clash in the South African capital.
"Aucho is much better, while Pacome Zouzoua and Yao Kouassi are still in recovery process, but there will be changes in the upcoming game," Gamondi explained, as per Africa Top Sports.
