TEHRAN – The Tractor football team will seek a second successive victory when the Iranian side faces Al Shorta of Iraq in the AFC Champions League Elite 2025-26 on Monday.
Tractor defeated Sharjah 5-0 on Matchday Three while Iraq’s Al Shorta has yet to shift into high gear with just a point to its name.
While Tractor would have been glad to register victory against Sharjah, it will head into the Al Shorta tie having only twice won back-to-back matches on the continental stage, which were both achieved in 2016.
The victory against Sharjah, however, ended a run of three winless matches and with Al Shorta struggling to get its campaign running, Tractor will fancy its chances of taking maximum points.
Al Shorta’s only point came from the Matchday One draw with Al Sadd SC of Qatar and the Iraqi side needs to start getting points on the board if it is to stand a chance of advancing to the Round of 16.
The odds are stacked against them, with Al Shorta having only picked up one point over its last 11 AFC Champions League matches, finding the net only four times and conceding 28.
The match will be held at Yadegar-E-Imam Stadium in Tabriz.
