Set to redeem themselves after a tough 5-0 defeat against Al-Hilal, Al-Shorta is gearing up to face Pakhtakor in a crucial AFC Champions League game on October 21, 2024. Despite their recent setbacks, Al-Shorta is in full strength, having scored 4 goals and conceded 13 in their last six games. This could serve as a morale boost for the team.
Conversely, Pakhtakor has an erratic defensive record and is coming off a 1-1 tie against Persepolis. They have surrendered 8 goals in their past six games. Still, they also have a strong roster and will try to exploit Al-Shorta’s weaknesses.
With a predicted result of 1-0, Al-Shorta is expected to secure a modest victory. Both teams have struggled to find the net in recent games, hinting at a low goal count for the match. Al-Shorta is the favored team with a 1.95 win, as indicated by the betting odds, while a draw or Pakhtakor’s win both carry a 3.41 price. Brace for a hard-fought game with few scoring opportunities overall.
