Preview

The Iraqi side have endured a difficult start to the continental campaign, losing both of their opening matches, including a 4-1 home defeat to Al Ain, which leaves them sitting 15th in the standings.

Pakhtakor enter this contest in a comparatively stable position, placed 9th in the table having remained undefeated through their continental fixtures. Across their three Champions League matches recorded, the Uzbek club have scored five goals while conceding only two, demonstrating solid defensive organisation.

Confidence

Pakhtakor have shown resilience in the AFC Champions League Elite, remaining unbeaten across their fixtures with five goals scored and only two conceded. In contrast, Al Quwa Al Jawiya have lost both of their opening league phase games, conceding five times and managing just one goal. The historical record also favours the visitors, as Pakhtakor have never lost to Al Quwa Al Jawiya in three head-to-head meetings, winning twice and drawing once. While Pakhtakor recently suffered a domestic defeat to Neftchi, their continental form and defensive solidity give them a strong probability of taking at least a draw from Iraq.

While Al Quwa Al Jawiya conceded four against Al Ain, four of their last five matches in all competitions have stayed under the 2.5 goal mark.

Al Quwa Al Jawiya have lacked cutting edge recently, drawing blanks in their last two domestic outings in a 1-0 loss to Al Talaba and a 0-0 draw against Al-Karma. Pakhtakor have conceded only 0.7 goals per match in this competition, keeping things compact. While Al Quwa Al Jawiya conceded four against Al Ain, four of their last five matches in all competitions have stayed under the 2.5 goal mark.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
