Sharjah will have to be at their best as Tractor are unbeaten in the sides' previous two meetings, which ended in a draw and a defeat for the AFC Champions League Two™ 2024/25 winners.

 

In fact, Tractor are the only side Sharjah have failed to score against on the continental stage and they will look to Rey Manaj to lead their search for goals, with the Albanian striker having already netted twice on the continent this season.

 

Sharjah will also have to be strong at the back, having conceded four goals in their opening two matches.

Tractor will be desperate to get on the winning trail after their two draws left them eighth in the standings after Matchday Two.

 

With only the top eight teams to advance to the next stage, Tractor have to start picking up the points if they are to stay in what is developing into a highly competitive Round of 16 race.
