Match Context and what’s at stake
Al Ittihad have experienced an up-and-down AFC Champions League Elite campaign so far.

A win here would significantly boost their chances of advancing, while a slip-up could complicate the qualification scenario heading into the final standings.
On the other hand, for Nasaf Qarshi, the group stage has been a challenging journey. The Uzbek side has struggled to convert performances into results and currently sits near the bottom of the table.
Kick-off time and venue
The Al Ittihad vs Nasaf Qarshi clash will be played at the Alinma Bank Stadium, Jeddah, giving the home side a strong advantage with familiar conditions and vocal support from the stands. The match is set to kick off at 11:45 PM in India.
