Sidama Bunna's overall record is more modest, 10 wins from 20 with 22 scored and 14 conceded. But their last two Champions League matches tell a better story, a 0-0 draw away to Aiglons and then a 3-0 home win over them. There's also an older set of results for Al Hilal Omdurman from a CECAFA Club Cup campaign over a year ago, but that's a different competition from a different season, so it doesn't tell us much about where either side is now.

Both sides have looked sharper in continental football lately than their season-long numbers suggest.

How It Might Play Out

With kickoff still a month out, this is really a look at current shape rather than a settled picture. Al Hilal Omdurman are the form side by most measures, sitting top of their group and scoring freely. Sidama Bunna's domestic form has been patchy, but they've shown in this exact competition that they can compete, including that win over Aiglons.

Whether that continental sharpness holds up away from home in Omdurman is the open question, and squads a month out from now aren't confirmed either.
