Al Hilal will be aiming to keep their hopes of reaching the 2018 CAF Confederations Cup knockout stages alive when they welcome SB Berkane to the Al-Hilal Stadium in Omdurman on Sunday evening.

Kick-off is at 21h00pm CAT.

The Sudanese club are yet to win a game after four rounds of fixtures, following the 1-0 defeat they suffered in the reverse fixture of this weekend's clash with three successive draws.

With a clash against Al Masry, who top Group B with eight points, to come in the final round of group stage fixtures, the Blue Wave know the importance of winning on home soil against their Moroccan counterparts.

The Oranges have accumulated but a single point from their last two encounters following successive wins over Al-Hilal and Mozambican outfit UD Songo in Beira.

Victory for Berkane in Omdurman will secure their place in the quarterfinals with a game to spare.

Referee Sidi Alioum of Cameroon will take charge of the clash.
