This AFC Champions League Elite match brings Pakhtakor up against Al Nassr in contrasting form after their most recent outings. Pakhtakor have just won 1-0 in the league, but before that they lost 0-1 in this cup competition, while Al Nassr are on a five-match winning run, capped by a 5-3 league win. Pakhtakor have been steady in their own league, winning 16 of 26 matches, but there are visible cracks in their defence, especially late in games where they concede as much as 38% of goals during the 76-90 minute period. Al Nassr, meanwhile, arrive in scoring form, having won by two goals or more in 4 of their last 5 matches, and they clearly dominate possession over the past 10 matches. In this game we are likely to see Al Nassr control the ball and push high, while Pakhtakor must defend solidly and wait for counter-attacking chances. If Al Nassr score first and keep attacking as they did in the 5-3 win, the game could end with a clear margin, but if Pakhtakor can hold the game tight for a long time, it may turn into a second-half exchange of blows.
