Al Ittihad in desperate mode
A 4-2 defeat to Al Duhail ended Al Ittihad Club's rebound and the reigning Saudi Pro League champions have to beat PFC Nasaf if they are to stay in sight of the Round of 16.
The Uzbekistan side, however, will be equally desperate to get points on the board after five defeats left their hopes hanging by a thread.

Can Sharjah deny Al Hilal?
Sharjah FC will be the latest team attempting to halt Al Hilal's perfect run and the UAE side will be determined to rise to the challenge.
