Doha [Qatar], February 17: Victory will be Al Gharafa SC's only option when they play Tractor FC in the AFC Champions League Elite 2025-26 at the Thani Bin Jassim Stadium on Tuesday.
Three points, however, may still not be enough for Qatar's Al Gharafa as they sit in 10th - two points adrift of the three sides above them in the West Zone standings.
Al Gharafa will also have to deal with the shock of their 7-0 defeat to Al Ittihad Club on Matchday Seven.
The head-to-head with Tractor is in their favour - having defeated the Islamic Republic of Iran side in both their previous meetings.
Tractor, despite having already booked their Round of 16 ticket, still have some work to do if they are to finish second in the standings.
Their unbeaten run was ended by Al Sadd SC last week and Tractor - tied on 14 points with Al Ahli Saudi FC and Al Wahda FC - will be determined to end the League Stage with a win.
