It's ground zero in Sudan Premier League - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Hilal El-Fasher and Al Hilal Port Sudan did in their pre-season friendlies!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Al Hilal Port Sudan have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-2-15 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
Al Hilal Port Sudan have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
