Pakhtakor - Shahr Khodrou Prediction, Picks and Tips
Asian Champions, faces the Uzbek Pakhtakor and the Iranian Shahr Khodrou. Pahktakor is the current uzbekistan champion, on the first day they won 2-1 to Al-Ahli dubaiti. It is a team composed mostly of Uzbeks with some foreigner who rises the level as Serbian striker Dragan Ceran (32 years old) who scored 23 goals last year and gave 6 assists in 24 league games for Pakhtakor or the Swiss striker -Turco Eren Derdiyok (31 years old) that this year has 3 goals and 2 assists in only 4 games played in Turkey.
A Derdiyok was just signed by the Turkish Göztepe (currently they are 8th in the Turkish super league), Derdiyok also played in Galatasaray, Hoffenheim, Bayern Leverkusen, Basel or Old Boys throughout his career. Pahktakor so far has always won on the nine occasions he has faced Iranian teams in the AFC, it is a team with a lot of experience in this competition something that Shahr Khodrou does not have.
Shahr Khodrou is currently 5th in the Iranian league and cannot be considered at the same level as other Iranian teams such as Persepolis or Esteghlal. They arrived here after playing qualifying rounds. It is an Iranian team with only one foreign player, it is the Ukrainian striker Miroslav Slavov (29 years old) who arrives from the Riga Latton, this player has developed his career mostly in teams of lower divisions such as German Regionalliga (in 2017 and it was where I stand out most ), 3rd German, second Austrian ... On the first day they lost to Al Hilal saudi 2-0 and the home team was not such because it played on neutral ground, in that game Al Hilal was clearly better and had the game controlled at all times.
