2023 Afcon Qualifiers: Tanzania starting XI vs Algeria - Samatta start, Mpole and Mnonga dropped

As he returned to the starting team, the Simba SC star conceded a goal when they shared the points with Niger.However, Poulsen has kept him in the first team as they host the Desert Foxes.

Aishi Manula

The Yanga star came on in the 39th minute to replace Haji Mnoga, who looked unsettled in their first qualifier away from home.This time around, he starts as Mnoga is missing from the matchday altogether.

Kibwana Shomari

The Simba SC assistant captain has made the left-back position his own.As they tackle the former Afcon champions, he needs to be alert throughout in order to keep the Algerian wingers under constant check.

Mohamed Hussein

He was an outstanding defender during their first qualifier and bailed his teammates out of threatening situations with clearances, especially the aerial ones.

Dickson Job

He looked shaky in Cotonou and Niger targeted him when they were attacking.As he comes up against Algeria, who are known for their relentless attacking football, the former Coastal Union defender must settle fast and ensure they are firm at the back all throughout.

Bakari Mwamnyeto

He was introduced – for Himid Mao - as the second half began against Niger.As the Taifa Stars need solidity, especially in deep midfield, Yassin is expected to offer just that as they hope to register a first win in their group.

Mzamiru Yassin

Salum’s strikes with precision from a distance have always been critical for his club in the Premier League.Coupled with the ability to open up even the most stubborn defences, he is expected to be a thorn in Algeria’s flesh.

Feisal Salum

Dismas starts as an attacking midfielder for Poulsen’s side, who enjoy huge home support from fans in Dar es Salaam.

Novatus Dismas

He visibly struggled against Niger as he was completely shut out, but starting against the North Africans calls for an improved performance from the Wydad AC forward.

Simon Msuva

Kibabage starts as George Mpole, who scored their goal against Niger in the previous qualifier, is dropped to the bench.

Nickson Kibabage

He struggled to create chances in their previous game and was also not a visible threat.To ease the pressure that is mounting on his shoulders, the former TP Mazembe striker needs to score.

Mbwana Samatta
