AFC Champions League Elite - Preview: Al Ain FC (UAE) v Tractor FC (IRN)

Al Ain: High-flying Al Ain FC will be aiming to stay perfect when they host Tractor FC in the AFC Champions League Elite 2026/2027™ on Monday.

UAE's Al Ain hit the back of the net four times in both their previous matches while Islamic Republic of Iran's Tractor need to get back on track, having collected just a single point.

Houssine Rahimi has been at the forefront of former champions Al Ain's charge, with the Moroccan forward having scored four of the eight goals his side plundered in their earlier matches.

Al Ain are unbeaten in their two AFC Champions League Elite meetings with Tractor (W1 D1) but this is the first time since September 2020 they will be facing a side from Iran and are on a six-game winless run in such games in the competition (D4 L2).

Tractor, however, desperately need to find their form following a slow start which has left them seeking their first win.

They are also yet to score and with Al Ain firing on all cylinders, Tractor must be at their best if they are to walk away with the points.
