This could be an interesting match as Hay Al Arab have their presumed home advantage while Al Merreikh are ahead 11 points in the Sudan Premier League table.
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.
