Mes Kerman form and stats

Mes Kerman must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Persian Gulf Pro League games here at Shahid Bahonar Stadium. Two draws in a row at home now for Mes Kerman.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 288 minutes without scoring a league goal. Bozorg was the last player to find the net. Mes Kerman are confident in defense, having played 182 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

The home team returns to Shahid Bahonar Stadium after drawing with Foolad (placed 7th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0.

In the match before that, Kerman hosted Zob Ahan and drew the game 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Mes Kerman perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Mes Kerman as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Mes Kerman has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Mes Kerman in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Kerman have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Havadar form and stats

Havadar are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Persian Gulf Pro League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss). Recent form does not give Havadar much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Mes Kerman will be a tough nut to crack.

The manager Elhami was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue. Havadar suffered a 1-2 loss to Sepahan (placed 3rd).

Prior to that match, the Havadar manager Elhami faced defeat when travelling to Mes Rafsanjan and losing 1-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Havadar playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 2 Havadar wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Havadar as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Havadar as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Data for the former two meetings between these two sides are: zero wins for Mes Kerman, one draw and one win for Havadar. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
