FC Istiklol and Al Hilal are both on 10 points going into Matchday Six but the Tajikistan side will seal top spot should they beat AGMK FC, thanks to a better head-to-head against the 2019 AFC Champions League winners.

We've selected five of the best goals for you to choose from in the poll at the foot of the article.

On Monday, a fourth draw in five games for Tractor meant the Iranians remain one of two unbeaten sides in the competition alongside group leaders Sharjah, but with just one win in the competition leaving them on seven points, even victory on the final matchday might not be enough for them to go through to the next round.

Al Sadd grabbed top spot from Al Nassr after the Qatar champions beat Foolad Khouzestan FC on Matchday Five to move up to 10 points, with the Saudi club missing out on vital points when they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Al Wehdat stay second two points adrift.

The onus will be on Al Nassr to secure full points while Al Sadd only need a draw to confirm their place in the Round of 16.

Al Wahda have grown in strength since losing their first match against Islamic Republic of Iran's Persepolis FC 1-0 and then being held 0-0 by FC Goa. The Abu Dhabi-based side bounced back nicely with consecutive wins against Qatar's Al Rayyan and stunned Persepolis in the reverse fixture.

FC Goa have done well, holding Al Rayyan (twice) and Al Wahda against two defeats against Persepolis in their debut AFC Champions League campaign.
