Esteghlal will take to Azadi Stadium for the first time in Group D of the AFC Champions League when the table-topper team hosts Al Ain of the UAE on Monday.
According to the AFC website, the Iranian side is the only team to have won a game in the group, having defeated Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia 1-0 on Matchday Two and earning two draws.
The Blues return to home comforts, following a commendable 2-2 draw against Al Ain last Tuesday.
With the score at 1-1, Al-Ain was handed a soft penalty with 16 minutes remaining, but Marcus Berg’s effort was saved excellently by Seyyed Hossein Hosseini in the Esteghlal goal.
