Preview Al-Hilal v Al Ahly SC | CAF Champions League

Al Ahly in a do or die game against Al-Hilal Omdurman in the final round of the African Champions League group stage games.

“The Ahly crew flew to Sudan on Thursday and the team will launch only one training session at the game’s stadium on Friday,” the club said in a statement.

“Ahly’s football director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz and executive manager Samir Adly arrived in Sudan two days ago to prepare the team’s camp ahead of the game,” the statement added.

The Red Devils boosted their hopes of reaching the last eight of the Champions League after beating Tunisia’s Etoile Sahel 1-0 in the 5th round of Group B games late on Sunday.

The Cairo giants only need to draw at Al-Hilal’s Omdurman fortress in their final match to qualify for the quarter-finals. A win will see them advance as the group leaders regardless of the outcome of the other match between Etoile and Zimbabwe’s Platinum.
