Al Shorta have failed to reproduce the form that saw them holding Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr Club to a 1-1 draw in their opening match.

 

Victory eluded them in their next five games, which yielded only two points, but the Iraqi side can be expected to give the match their all as they look to end their campaign on a positive note.

Al Ain will also be desperate for a win after a campaign which has already seem them eliminated with last season's AFC Champions League winners only managing to accumulate two points.

 

Vladimir Ivic will be in the dug-out, the third head coach of Al Ain's AFC Champions League Elite campaign, and the Serbian-born will expect a fighting performance from his players before they turn their attention to salvaging their domestic season. 

Venue: Al Zawraa Stadium (Baghdad)

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