Insights:
  • Padideh Khorasan have the most conceded goals (43) in Persian Gulf Pro League
  • Foolad have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (3) in Persian Gulf Pro League

Khorasan have had a bad season and will be relegated from Persian Gulf Pro League. Foolad is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

These teams have little in common geographically as Foolad have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Padideh Khorasan nor Foolad as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Padideh Khorasan form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Persian Gulf Pro League this season. Padideh Khorasan have only managed 0 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Samen Al-Aeme Stadium. With 14 home Persian Gulf Pro League games in a row without a win, the Padideh Khorasan fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Aluminium Arak game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager Abbasi led his Khorasan to a defeat away at Persepolis. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Samen Al-Aeme Stadium.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sepahan (0-3).

Padideh Khorasan have scored 7 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Padideh Khorasan have conceded 18 goals.
