International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Al Hilal Omdurman and TP Mazembe are looking forward to this CAF Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This stadium uses grass, unlike TP Mazembe's home stadium. The visitors last 30 games on grass have ended in 15 wins, 11 draws and 4 losses.
These teams have little in common geographically as TP Mazembe have to travel 4600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
