It's early days in the Sudan Premier League and both Al Ahli Khartoum and Hilal Obayed are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
It should be mentioned that Hilal Obayed play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Hilal Obayed on artifical turf are 3 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats from ten games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 11-18. You can compare this with overall results below.
Al Ahli Khartoum form and stats
The first Sudan Premier League game here resulted in a draw. Last season Al Ahli Khartoum's home game statistics were 3 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 10 games.
An away draw last time out for Khartoum, facing Alamal Atbara in a game that ended 0-0.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Ahli Khartoum at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Hilal Obayed form and stats
Hilal Obayed have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Sudan Premier League were 5 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 12 fixtures.
Obayed delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Namungo in their previous match; a CAF Confederations Cup game. A draw for Hilal Obayed before that, at their own venue hosting Al Shorta (2-2).
Drawing 3-3 against Namungo after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager I. Hussein needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Namungo was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
It's early days yet, but Hilal Obayed has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Khartoum victories, four draws and four Hilal Obayed wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Al Ahli Khartoum missing players
