FC Lokomotiv to face Al Wahda FC at the Al Nahyan Stadium

The home side are looking to extend their three-match winning run and seal qualification to the knockout stage for the first time since 2007. Meanwhile, the visitors from Uzbekistan need the three points to retain their hopes of progress going into the last matchday.

Despite participating in each of the past four editions of the competition, Lokomotiv only managed to successfully navigate the group stage on one occasion, when they reached the quarter-finals in 2016.

The reverse fixture on Matchday One saw Lokomotiv start their season with a 2-0 victory in Tashkent, but Al Wahda have since turned a corner and won each of their following three games.

Domestically, Henk ten Cate’s men are fighting a three-way battle with Abu Dhabi rivals Al Jazira and Al Ain for the third qualifying spot to the 2020 AFC Champions League.
