Simba SC head coach Fadlu Davids has sent a warning to his players after drawing Al Masry in the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals.
The Tanzanian side finished top of their group and were rewarded with a clash against the Egyptian Premier League outfit.
The first leg will take place in Egypt on 3 April before Davids' charges will host Al Masry in the second leg a week later at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

Davids, however, has warned his charges the tie will not be easy despite Al Masry sitting in fifth position in the Egyptian top-flight.
"We accept the draw because every team you play it is gonna be a tough team, they are currently doing well in the Egyptian league and it is gonna be a very tough game, especially when we go away from home, but we did our pre-season in Egypt and we are all prepared for the climate," Davids told Pan-Africa Football.
"We also played some teams in Egypt during our stay there, and we know it won't be easy like any other match in the quarter-finals, but we are ready for the match."
Davids also highlighted the importance of finishing top of their gruop.
"That was very important, the aspect to win the group, to be on top of the group, so you play away first and then you get to know the result and you know what to do, and what to expect, and what result you need at home to qualify, and with our fans in Dar es Salaam, it gives us the advantage of playing the second match at home," he added/
"We know in this competition that once you get into this round, it is tough matches especially playing away from home, and we have to be really at our best in every second of the game to be able to qualify for the semi-finals."
