Al Ittihad are having a rough start to the new season, especially in the AFC Champions League, being winless after two rounds. Neftchi Fargona rarely lose at home, so I am predicting a draw in Uzbekistan.

Two H2H Meetings so Far
These two sides locked horns twice in the AFC Champions League in 2004, Al Ittihad winning on both occasions 3-1 & 3-0.
Neftchi Tough to Beat at Home
Neftchi Fargona started the AFC Champions League main stage with a 1-0 home victory against Al Quwa Al Jawiya, Zoran Marusic finding the net just before stoppage time.
They were tagged heavy underdogs in the second round against the Saudi champions Al Nassr, offered solid resistance but ultimately got beaten by the superior side 3-1.
Neftchi Fargona are doing great in the Uzbek top flight, winning the derby match against 2nd placed Pakhtakor 3-1 on Friday to maintain the leading position and increase the gap to five points with five rounds left.
Al Ittihad Struggling in the New Campaign
Al Ittihad appointed Jens Wissing as the new manager earlier this summer but are having a rough time under his leadership, securing just one point from the opening two AFC Champions League rounds.
They were tagged favorites in the first match against Shamal in Qatar, but barely secured a point here, Georginio Wijnaldum scoring an equalizer in the 94th minute in a 1-1 draw.
Al Ittihad were expected to bounce back earlier this month in home premiere, but shockingly lost to Al-Ahli Dubai 2-1, Richard Rios scoring a consolation goal. They ended this clash with 1.54-1.33 xG, 68% possession and 23-8 shots.
Team News
Midfielder Jovan Djokic is ruled out for this match for the home side due to Achilles tendon injury. Rustambek Fomin is doubtful due to fitness problems.
As for the visitors, defender Hassan Kadesh is out with a hamstring injury. Mahamadou Doumbia, Roger Fernandes and Hamed Al Ghamdi are also unavailable due to long term injuries.
Verdict
Al Ittihad had two disappointing performances in the AFC Champions League so far and I don't think they will improve much in Uzbekistan against Neftchi Fargona who rarely lose at home. A scoring draw is worth backing here.
