AFC Champions League Elite
Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad finally got on the winning trail on Matchday Three while UAE's Sharjah FC suffered a 5-0 defeat to Islamic Republic of Iran's Tractor FC.
The 4-1 win against Iraq's Al Shorta would have come as immense relief for reigning Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad and they will hope their first meeting with Sharjah ends with the same result.
A reason for their troubles has been their defence, with goals conceded in each of the three matches they have played and this is an area Al Ittihad will have to keep an eye on against Sharjah.

Sharjah will be desperate to show the defeat against Tractor was a mere blip, coming after they had made a strong start to their continental campaign.
Victory against Al Ittihad will be a big confidence booster and with the Saudi side not at their best, Sharjah will feel confident of their chances.
