Pakhtakor vs Al-Nassr: prediction, team news, lineups
Match preview
Pakhtakor have two points from three games in this season's league stage: draws with Al-Ahli and Al-Qadsiah, then a 1-0 defeat to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in Baghdad. They warmed up with a 1-0 league win at Xorazm on Friday. Ange Postecoglou's Al-Nassr have played one game fewer, because their home game with Al-Wasl was postponed when the UAE side could not travel to Riyadh. They lost their opener 4-0 to Al-Ain but have won every game since, including a 5-3 win over Al-Kholood on Thursday in which Ronaldo scored a hat-trick. Postecoglou has left Ronaldo, Kingsley Coman and Mohamed Simakan at home to rest them.
