Qatar's Al Gharafa only managed to collect a single point after their sensational 4-2 win against UAE's Al Ain FC on Matchday Two.

 

Beaten 3-0 by Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal SFC prior to the break, Al Gharafa will be aiming for a better outcome against Pakhtakor but they will need to improve their shot accuracy as they only had 15 on target in their previous six matches.

Pakhtakor will also be hoping to restart on a high note after a difficult campaign which saw not them not only failing to win a single match on the continental stage but also relinquishing their Uzbekistan Super League title.

 

Four draws just about kept them in the race for the knockout stage but victories are what Pakhtakor need if they are to advance, having not been able to do that in their previous seven games on the continental stage.

Venue: Thani Bin Jassim Stadium (Al Rayyan)

Kick-off: Tuesday, 19:00 (UTC+3)
