Al Hilal Omdurman and Mamelodi Sundowns will battle for three points in a CAF Champions League fixture on Friday (January 30th). The game will be played at Al Hilal Stadium.
The game is coming a week after both sides played out a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture in South Africa. Abdelraziq Omer put the visitors ahead in the 15th minute, but Arthur Seles drew the game level in the 22nd minute. Teboho Mokoena put the hosts ahead in the 64th minute with a long-range thunderbolt but Omer completed his brace in the second half to ensure the spoils were shared.
Thanks for the submission!
Sundowns followed this up with a routine 2-0 away win over Sekhukhune in the South African Premiership. Nuno Santos and Brayan Leon scored injury-time goals to help the visitors claim all three points.
The Pretoria outfit will shift their focus to the continent and are joint-top of Group C with five points from three games.

Al Hilal Omdurman vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction
Al Hilal saw their eight-game winning streak come to an end with their draw last week. However, they can raise their heads high with the manner of their draw in the reverse fixture.
Mamelodi Sundowns would have been disappointed not to take outright control of top spot in this group by winning the reverse game. However, they have another shot at going top with a victory here but have managed just two wins in their last six games on their travels.
St Eloi Lupopo sit just one point behind these two sides in third spot in the group and could take advantage of any result here to go top. Back the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Al Hilal Omdurman 1-1 Mamelodi Sundowns
