The sides have history, having met in the 2015 group stage of the AFC Champions League with both having won once each with Shabab Al Ahli eventually finishing as the runners-up.

The UAE side will head into the match on a nine-match unbeaten run against teams from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Tractor, who won their domestic title for the first time last season, also have an unbeaten run to protect - having not suffered defeat in their last five encounters against teams from the UAE.

They will have to watch out for Sardar Azmoun, with the Iranian striker netting nine goals for Shabab Al Ahli in the AFC Champions League Two last season.
