Yanga out to 'shock' Ahli

Young Africans striker Mike Baraza produced yet another loud-mouthed comment, by claiming that the Tanzanians have a double advantage over CAF Champions League holders Ahli ahead of Saturday's tie.

Ahli are on a three-goal lead before the last 32 return game in Dar Es Salaam, and Baraza sustained his teammates' previous views that Yanga are capable of turning the huge deficit.

This time the Kenyan frontman believes that his side boast a better squad than the Egyptian champions, in addition to their home advantage.

"We have an advantage over them. We are playing at home and there are many good players in the team. Both factors favor us to oust them," Baraza was quoted as saying by the Citizen newspaper.

"Yes, at present they have an edge over us, but we will be all out to shock them; it will be a do-or-die match."

Yanga faced a similar situation in their last Champions League appearance back in 2007 when they trailed Esperance 3-0 before the second leg, which ended in a goalless draw.
