Al Hilal Omdurman vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions & Tips - Valuable point tipped for Omdurman

Sundowns are in top form with tens wins in their last 11 matches and are 26 matches unbeaten. They have nothing to play for in this match but should have enough to avoid defeat and take a point, even if they rest players. Al Hilal Omdurman are tough to beat at home. I am tipping a draw in this match.

Mamelodi Sundowns hold a 2-0 advantage of Al Hilal Omdurman across their three previous meetings with one match ending in a draw.

They last played in each other in February as Sundowns won 2-0 at home. Their previous two matches were in 2008.

Al Hilal started their CAF Champions League group stage with a 2-0 defeat away to Mamelodi Sundowns before a goalless draw at home with TP Mazembe and a 1-1 draw at Belouizdad. They drew 0-0 at home with same opponents in their last match and sit second in the group on goal difference.

Al Hilal sit top of the Sudani Premier League having won 10 and drawn four of their 14 league matches. Their most recent results were a 6-2 win at Hilal El-Fasher, a 2-1 home win against Merreikh El-Fasher and a 4-0 home victory against Al Hilal Kadougli.

Their last match prior to the FIFA break was the 0-0 home draw with Belouizdad.

Zimbabwean midfielder Last Jesi is pushing for a start after coming on to good effect in the last match.

Mohamed Abdel Raman is the side’s top striker having scored in the draw at Belouizdad as well as the second goal for Sudan against South Africa at the same venue on Sunday. He was one of five four players from Al Hilal who featured in that match.

Mamelodi Sundowns are 26 matches unbeaten in all competitions with 10 wins in their last 11 matches. They sit first in the Premier Soccer League table and have already top spot in their CAF Champions League group with two games to spare having won their four matches thus far.

A 5-1 victory at Belouzidad and a 2-1 win at TP Mazembe in the CAF Champions League was followed by 4-0 home win against Polokwane City in the Nedbank Cup. A 2-1 win at Stellenbosch was next prior to beating TP Mazemba 1-0 at home.

Their last match saw a surprise 1-1 home draw with bottom placed Black Leopards having led 1-0 after 79 minutes.

Top striker Peter Shalulile was suspended for the Leopards draw but is available for this match. He may not start though with qualification already secured.

Kermit Erasmus missed the FIFA break with an injury and is set to miss out up front whilst midfield Andile Jali was injured on international duty. Sundowns could rest several players with Ricardo Goss expected to play in goal and Mauricio Affonso likely to get a chance in attack.

The odds for this match have yet to be released.
