Al Ain faced Esteghlal in the Group Stage of the Champions League on May 20. Esteghlal emerged victorious with a 1-2 win.
The opener arrived on the 13th minute when Marcus Berg converted the chance, giving Al Ain the lead. Goals from Mohammad Daneshgar and Morteza Tabrizi followed, setting the final scoreline at 1-2.
As Al Ain and Esteghlal square off once more, the memory of the 1-1 tie in their Champions League Group Stage meeting from 6 years ago still lingers. With victories over Al Wasl Dubai and Dibba Al Fujairah, Al Ain is on a roll, with their sights now set on a victory over Esteghlal to keep the momentum going.. Their winning form has come with a cost though, as their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in seven consecutive home matches.
After their recent win against Sepidrood Rasht, Esteghlal approach this match with renewed confidence just like their oponents, stretching their unbeaten streak to four matches. Despite that, their forwards have struggled recently, leaving them goalless in their previous three away matches, a streak they are desperate to end.
In this AFC Champions League Elite showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Al Ain and Esteghlal throughout the campaign. Al Ain’s leading scorer Jamal Maroof and Marcus Berg have played significant roles in the team’s attack, with Juan Carlos Garrido steering the side, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. Maroof leads Al Ain’s scoring charts in AFC Champions League Elite this season with one goal.
Meanwhile, Esteghlal’s attacking options, under Winfried Schafer’s management, have been bolstered by Milad Zakipour, the team’s top scorer, and Pejman Montazeri, both of whom have contributed crucial goals. Zakipour has emerged as Esteghlal’s leading scorer in AFC Champions League Elite this season, netting one goal. Roozbeh Cheshmi have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
