Al Ain, by contrast, tend to be involved in expansive games and both sides typically create plenty of goalscoring chances. However, they have performed poorly on the continent and are yet to win a game in the AFC Champions League.
Both sides are outside the running for qualification to the knockout rounds but a win here would boost their chances. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.
