CAF Champions League: Sundowns – Al Hilal, the history of their encounters

Tonight, as another CAF Champions League showdown unfolds, the history of clashes highlights a clear dominance by Mamelodi Sundowns over Al Hilal Omdurman. In six (6) meetings in the competition, the South African club has claimed victory four (4) times and drawn twice (2), remaining unbeaten throughout. This commanding record firmly establishes Sundowns as the benchmark in this continental rivalry.

Over the seasons, these duels have consistently swung in favor of the South Africans, who have been able to dictate the tempo both in Pretoria and Omdurman. The victories in 2021 and 2022, notably the 2-0 and 4-2 wins, further cemented their superiority, while Al Hilal has never managed to turn their strong spells into a win against their more consistent rivals.

The away draws, however, demonstrate Al Hilal's ability to stand firm on occasion. As the two teams meet again today, recent history clearly puts Mamelodi Sundowns in the driver's seat, though every encounter remains a new opportunity for Al Hilal to try and break this unfavorable streak.
