This match has been long awaited by fans of both sides, as it's the first CAF Champions League game of the season. Both Al Hilal Omdurman and Platinum are looking for a positive start to their campaigns.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Platinum have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 5600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
