Nasaf's difficulties on the continental stage have been compounded by their troubles at home, with the Uzbekistan Super League title in danger of slipping from their grip.

They have, however, won their two previous encounters with Islamic Republic of Iran's Tractor but the fact that they have been brittle both home and away in the AFC Champions League Elite this season will weigh heavily on their minds. 

Tractor will be seeking a third consecutive win after having opened their campaign with two draws and will head into the tie unbeaten against teams from Uzbekistan in their three most recent meetings.

A third victory on the trot will mean their longest winning streak on the continent and they will fancy their chances after finding their best form in their last two ties.

PFC Nasaf (UZB) v Tractor FC (IRN)
Venue: Markaziy Stadium (Qarshi)
Kick-off: Monday, 18:45 (UTC+5)
