Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad are, irrespective of the result at the King Abdulaziz Sport City, assured of their spot in the Round of 16 while Islamic Republic of Iran’s Sepahan need three points to be absolutely sure. Al Ittihad’s 2-1 Matchday Five win against AGMK FC of Uzbekistan means the two-time AFC Champions League winners are assured of advancing, even if they finish as the Group C runners-up.

Al Ittihad, however, will be determined to end the group stage top and will put their best foot forward.
Sepahan, on 10 points, stand a good chance of advancing but will want to make it absolutely sure.

They have enjoyed a good group stage campaign and will not want a premature end to their journey.
