Nasaf's struggles on the continent are in stark contrast to their domestic form, with the reigning champions involved in a neck-and-neck race with Neftchi Fergana for the Uzbekistan Super League 2025 title.

Having already been beaten at home by Al Hilal SFC this season, Nasaf need to find their winning touch if they are to get the better of Al Wahda in what will be a first meeting between the sides.

While they have been finding the goals - having already netted five times - the 11 conceded is why they are bottom of the West Zone standings.

Al Wahda also scored five goals in their previous three matches, with the difference being how miserly they have been at the back with just two conceded.

Their focus on a tight defence saw Al Wahda snapping a 13-match run on the continental stage without a clean sheet in the goalless draw with Tractor FC on Matchday Two and the UAE outfit will be bidding to not concede on the road in back-to-back ties for only the third time ever.
