Persepolis and Al Duhail wrap up their AFC Champions League group stages as the latter visit Iran for a fiesty encounter.
Persepolis can finish the group stages in the second spot only with Al Nassr sealing the first position. With two wins, two draws, and a loss, Persepolis have managed to defy all odds to seal a spot in the knockouts as they'll look to finish the group stage with another win.
Al Duhail, on the other hand, have shown massive signs of struggles with just four points from their five games dumping them in the third spot. All three points from Iran cannot change their fortunes but could see them bow out of the competition with pride.
