Al Hilal Omdurman missed out on the final after losing on penalties to Kenyan side Gor Mahia. They bounced back from an early own goal by Steven Ebuela, with Ansumana Samura drawing them level, but ultimately lost in the shootout.
While it was a disappointing defeat, Al Hilal Omdurman will take the positives from their performance. Their showings at the Kagame Cup have also been generally solid, having gone unbeaten in three of four matches.
The task for Al Hilal Omdurman will be to avoid ending the tournament empty-handed. The Sudanese side will take confidence from their overall form, having gone unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Semi-final Blues for Jamus
Jamus were disappointing in their semi-final clash, suffering a 3-1 defeat to Rayon Sport of Tanzania. They were second best throughout the contest, with Diallo Bandiougou’s second-half effort proving a mere consolation.
While it was the first defeat in the tournament for Jamus, their performances seem to be worsening as the competition progresses. They have now failed to win two of their last three matches.
However, like Al Hilal Omdurman, Jamus will also be keen to avoid leaving the tournament empty-handed. Their overall form has also been solid, having gone unbeaten in nine of their last 10 in all competitions.
Team News and Predicted Line-ups

Despite scoring an own goal in the semi-final, Ebuela should retain his place at the back for Al Hilal Omdurman. Haman Mandjan is set to continue in midfield while Sunday Adetunji should lead the line once again.
Jamus (4-3-3): Majak Mawith; Haniff Wesonga, Mohamed Kesra, Jean Ngumbi, Thomas Bawak Eta; Gosim Elenga, Mario Taban; Dhata Stephen, Kevin Muhire, Diallo Bandiougou, Laurent Ramazani.

Both teams will be keen to leave the Kagame Cup with something and will be fired up for this one.
However, Al Hilal Omdurman have been slightly better than Jamus so far and given their record in this fixture, will be confident of coming out on top.
