Pakhtakor will look to make it back-to-back home wins when they take on Al Sadd in Group D of the AFC Champions League at Pakhtakor Stadium in Tashkent on Tuesday.

After drawing their opening game away at the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Persepolis, Marat Bikmaev scored the only goal of the game as the Uzbek side defeated Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli 1-0 four weeks ago.

The Tashkent team, who are without the suspended Khumoyunmirzo Iminov, also lead the way in the Uzbek Super League as Friday’s 2-1 win over Nasaf made it three victories from three since the domestic championship kicked off in mid-March.

Another club from Uzbekistan competing in the AFC Champions League PFC Lokomotiv will be hosted by Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia. The match will be held at King Abdullah Sports City.

It is worth noting that Lokomotiv got off to a winning start in Group B by defeating Al Wahda 2-0 but the Tashkent side lost 2-1 to Al Rayyan on Matchday Two.

Since their last AFC Champions League game Lokomotiv go into the match on the back of a 4-0 win over Andijan last week that moved them to third in the standings.
