Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Hilal El-Fasher in 11th and Al-Ahly Merowe in 9th place.
Hilal El-Fasher and Al-Ahly Merowe should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Hilal El-Fasher form and stats
Hilal El-Fasher have performed here this season with 6 wins from 10 Sudan Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1.
Hilal El-Fasher drew their last game, also a home match. Alamal Atbara (placed 4th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score.
There will be little rest for Hilal El-Fasher after this match as they are travelling to Al Fallah for a Sudan Premier League game in only two days.
The El-Fasher fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. El-Fasher have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Al-Ahly Merowe form and stats
Al-Ahly Merowe, who have the most clean sheets (3) away in Sudan Premier League, have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Sudan Premier League, after 2-4-6 (12 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Al-Ahly are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Prior to that match, the Al-Ahly Merowe manager faced defeat when travelling to Al Ahly Shendi and losing 0-3.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Al-Ahly Merowe manager as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Al Hilal Kadougli.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 13 goals have been conceded by Al-Ahly in these games.
