No Previous Meetings

Al Hilal Back in Action
Al Hilal are a Sudanese side that currently play in the Rwanda Premier League back due to the Civil War in Sudan. They are back in competitive action for the first time since the Rwanda Premier League ended back in May.
Al Mawj Al Azraq finished top of the table back in May but were well below their best in the final weeks of the season. They failed to win their last three matches, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Etincelles in their final fixture.
One thing Al Hilal have going for them is their attacking quality, having scored in their last 10 matches in all competitions. However, they are often unconvincing at the back and are without a clean sheet in the last four fixtures in this run.
Tusker Slightly Inconsistent
Tusker’s situation is slightly similar to Al Hilal as they have also been without competitive action since June. Their last match was the Kenyan Cup final where they claimed a 2-1 victory over Police FC to lift the trophy.
That result was a rare win for Tusker, who were a bit inconsistent in the final weeks of the season. They are unbeaten in six of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Tusker have quality in attack and have scored in their last two matches. However, like Al Hilal, they are often unconvincing at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last four matches in all competitions.

Al Hilal Omdurman (4-3-3): Farid Ouedrogo; Mwafag Siddig, Mohamed Saeed Ahmed, Ousmane Diouf, Ernest Luzoio; Salaheldin Adil, Walieldin Khidir Abdelrazig Omer; Musa Ali Hussein, Yasir Mozamil, Mohamed Abdelrahman.
Al Hilal Omdurman head into this clash with a fully fit squad. Saeed Ahmed and Diouf are expected to continue their central defensive partnership while Abdelrahman should lead the line once again.
Tusker (4-4-2): Pavelh Ndzila; Mike Kibwage, Charles Momanyi, Thomas Omenda Teka, George Kaddu; Chris Erambo, Michael Oduor, Shaphan Siwa, David Polepole, Dennis Oguta; Erick Kapaito, Lawrence Luvanda.
Tusker have no injuries or suspensions heading into their Group C opener. Kapaito and Luvanda should form an attacking partnership while Momanyi is set to feature at the back.
Verdict
Al Hilal Omdurman and Tusker will be targeting a positive start to the Kagame Cup and are likely to adopt an open style.
They both have quality going forward, and with neither defence looking solid at the moment, both teams can be backed to score here.
