2nd position in the Sudan Premier League table for Al Merreikh so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 6th-placed Merreikh El-Fasher visits Al-Merreikh Stadium.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Merreikh El-Fasher's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Merreikh El-Fasher have performed like this: Played eleven matches resulting in 3 wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats with the goal stats 9-20 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Merreikh El-Fasher have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
