Tractor and Pakhtakor preview their AFC CL group B game in Sharjah

Pakhtakor's hopes of qualification to the 2021 AFC Champions League Round of 16 hinge on their ability to get the three points when they face Tractor FC in Matchday Four of Group B on Monday.

Quarter-finalists last year, Pakhtakor are yet to get their first win of the 2021 campaign, collecting three points from their first four games.

Yet another setback will consign the Uzbek champions to group stage elimination.

Tractor are in a slightly better position, sitting second on six points - two behind UAE's Sharjah - but will also need a win to keep their hopes of clinching the sole automatic ticket to the Round of 16.
