Saipa has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Shahid Dastgerdi Stadium. We remember; it was Fajr Sepasi.

Stress levels are on the rise for Saipa's attacking players as they have now played 259 minutes without scoring in a league game. Tabatabaei was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager Akhbari led his Saipa to a defeat away at Darya Babol. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Shahid Dastgerdi Stadium. Until that fixture this team had gone seven consecutive league games without being beaten.

Before that, a defeat in the away fixture against Sepahan in the Hazfi Cup.

It should be added that a peek at the 13 latest league fixtures shows that 11 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).
