AFC Champions League Elite
Iraq's Air Force suffered defeats in their opening two matches while Uzbekistan's Pakhtakor settled for stalemates in both their ties.
Air Force's confidence has surely taken a hit following the two defeats, which included a heavy 4-1 loss at home to UAE's Al Ain FC on Matchday Two.
They are winless in their two AFC Champions League Elite meetings with Pakhtakor (D1 L1), failing to score in each of them.

Pakhtakor will fancy their chances of taking the win, having lost just two of their eight meetings in the competition against sides from Iraq (W4 D2).
The perennial AFC Champions League Elite participants have never logged three successive draws in the competition but they have failed to register a win over their first three games of a campaign thrice before – 2024-25 (D2 L1), 2021 (D2 L1) and 2011 (D1 L2).
Air Force SC (IRQ) v Pakhtakor (UZB)
