Pakhtakor vs Al-Nassr Prediction

Pakhtakor host Al-Nassr on 2 November 2026 at 16:45 in the AFC Champions League Elite league phase at Pakhtakor Markaziy Stadium in Tashkent. Both teams sit on three points from their opening matches and need a result to improve their Western Region standings. The Uzbek hosts remain winless in continental competition but have drawn twice against Saudi opposition. Al-Nassr arrive with attacking firepower led by Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix, yet their defensive record has been fragile across two continental fixtures.

Form and H2H

Pakhtakor opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw away to defending champions Al Ahli, then repeated that scoreline at home against Al Qadsiah before losing 1-0 to Al Quwa Al Jawiya. In domestic play, they beat Xorazm Urganch 1-0 on 30 October with a late goal from Mukhammad-Bobur Karimov. Over their last ten matches, Pakhtakor have won five, drawn three and lost two at home, averaging 1.59 goals for and 1.00 against.

Al-Nassr suffered a 4-0 defeat to Al Ain in their opening fixture before recovering with a 3-1 home win over Neftchi Fergana. On 29 October, they thrashed Al Kholood 5-3 in the domestic league, with Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick in 15 minutes of the second half and Félix providing four assists. Away from home over their last ten matches, Al-Nassr have won seven, drawn one and lost two, averaging 2.11 goals for and 1.40 against. Critically, they have conceded five goals across their two continental matches so far.

Best bet

Both teams to score — Yes. Pakhtakor have already found the net against two Saudi Arabian clubs in this tournament and showed late-game composure to earn a point at home against Al Qadsiah through an 89th-minute Dostonbek Khamdamov penalty. Al-Nassr's defensive vulnerabilities are evident: they conceded four to Al Ain and five across two continental outings. Ronaldo, Félix and Sadio Mané possess the quality to create multiple chances, but Pakhtakor's counterattacking threat and set-piece danger mean the hosts should register at least one goal despite being underdogs.
