Machine Sazi delivered a 3-3 score facing Saipa last game, a fixture to remember. The next job is this fit Malavan team.
- Machine Sazi have the most conceded goals (69) in Azadegan League
- Malavan have the most clean sheets (17) in Azadegan League
For Machine relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Malavan, who are travelling more than 1600 kilometers to play this game.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Machine Sazi form and stats
Machine Sazi's results here at Yadegar-e-Emam Stadium in the Azadegan League have been very modest with 0 victories, 7 draws and 7 defeats. With 17 home Azadegan League games in a row without a win, the Machine Sazi fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Mes Rafsanjan game long ago, can be stopped today.
The home followers saw a 3-3 draw versus Saipa last time out and are looking for a win here. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Esteghlal Mollasani (1-6).The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Malavan to win. Let's see if Machine are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 11 games found revealing 1 Machine Sazi win, 3 draws and 7 defeats.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Machine Sazi here at Yadegar-e-Emam Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (13 from 14 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Machine defense is not exactly impregnable. 26 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When Machine Sazi hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Shahin Bushehr, Saipa, Khouneh Be Khouneh Babol, Qashqai and FC Vista Turbine), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.
Malavan form and stats
5 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Malavan, who have the most clean sheets (17) in Azadegan League, playing as the away team in the Azadegan League this season.
Malavan have lots to rectify after their surprise loss (1-2) to Esteghlal Mollasani in their previous match, played in front of their own supporters.
A 0-0 draw at Caspian Qazvin's stadium before that.The attacking power of Malavan when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Malavan's manager Ahmadzadeh has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 7 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
