Preview

Match preview

Neftchi host Al-Ittihad FC in the third round of the AFC Champions League Elite league phase. The Uzbek side sit in seventh position with three points from their opening two group fixtures, having secured a 1-0 victory at home before falling 3-1 away to Al-Nassr. Recent outings across all competitions have seen plenty of action at both ends of the pitch, with Neftchi scoring in each of their last five matches while also failing to keep a clean sheet in any of them.

Al-Ittihad travel looking to build momentum after back-to-back victories across all competitions, defeating Al-Ettifaq 4-1 on the road and Al Diriyah 2-0 at home. In their away fixtures in the competition, the Saudi club has remained difficult to beat, recording one victory and one draw while netting five goals. Their offensive output has been reliable, finding the target in each of their last five matches.

With Neftchi showing defensive vulnerability by conceding 12 goals across their last five matches, Al-Ittihad should find opportunities to breach the home backline. However, Neftchi have also produced eight goals in their last three outings, pointing toward an active encounter where Al-Ittihad hold the edge in recent form and away stability.

Double Chance

Al-Ittihad FC or Draw

72%

Confidence

Al-Ittihad have displayed strong away form in the tournament, remaining unbeaten on the road with a win and a draw while scoring five goals. They enter the match following consecutive wins in all competitions, outscoring opponents 6-1 across those two fixtures. In contrast, Neftchi have conceded at least two goals in three of their past five matches, including shipping four at home against Lokomotiv and three away to Al-Nassr. Backing Al-Ittihad to win or draw covers two of the three possible outcomes while reflecting their current scoring form and away resilience.
