Pakhtakor vs Al Wasl Prediction: bet on an exchange of goals

Prediction for the AFC Champions League match which will take place on September 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pakhtakor does not shine in the current season. The team has already played 18 rounds, and after them the team is on the fourth position in the standings with 29 points. At the same time, the team is 12 points behind the leading Nasaf, and there is no chance for the championship. And Pakhtakor dropped out of the Uzbekistan Cup the day before, losing to Navbahor in a penalty shootout in the round of 4. In general, it is obvious that they should put all their efforts into the Asian Champions League.

Al Wasl is from the UAE championship. The new season has just started there, and in two rounds the team has a draw with Ittihad Kalba (2:2) and a victory over Dibba (1:0). Well, in the past they looked classy and won the championship, in 26 rounds scoring 67 points and nine ahead of the second Al Ahli Dubai. We also note that in the last AFC Champions League draw, Al Wasl finished third in their group table, so flew past the play-offs.

We think that in the upcoming meeting we should not get into the outcomes. On paper Al Wasl are favourites, and they are really higher in class, but still the game will take place in Uzbekistan, where Pakhtakor will definitely try to fight back. We believe that the hosts will manage to score at least one goal. At the same time, the Emiratis have a great attacking game, so we also expect goals from them. We bet on an exchange of goals.
