While Persepolis and Esteghlal flew the flag Iran in the ACL last year, Zob Ahan have been leading the way in 2019 and have the best record of all 32 teams with ten points from four matches.
A draw with Al Zawraa on Tuesday would be enough to see them progress to the Round of 16 for the third time in four seasons.
