This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Al Hilal Omdurman at Al-Hilal Stadium when the CAF Champions League tournament arrives in town and CR Belouizdad with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Omdurman and CR Belouizdad.
This stadium uses grass, unlike CR Belouizdad's home stadium. The visitors last 22 games on grass have ended in 9 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses.
These teams have little in common geographically as CR Belouizdad have to travel 5500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Al Hilal Omdurman form and stats
Omdurman was eliminated in the group stage last season in the CAF Champions League.Al Hilal Omdurman have been very solid at home in the Sudan Premier League so far, with 20 points collected from 8 matches (6-2-0). This has contributed greatly to their 3rd position in the table. This match is a CAF Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in this competition. Omdurman has a nice streak going on as they have played 14 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Al Merreikh defeat 142 days ago. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Omdurman after consecutive victories at their own ground.
As mentioned above, Omdurman "killed" Al Hilal Kadougli in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
