Persepolis form and stats

Persepolis's mission in AFC Champions League last season failed in the group stage.

Persepolis have an excellent away record in the Persian Gulf Pro League so far with 7-0-2 from 9 games. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Persepolis's record of six away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Padideh Khorasan game.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Persepolis, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Al Duhail. A draw for Persepolis before that, at their own venue hosting Esteghlal (2-2).

Persepolis are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 9 away games so far. Persepolis are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 2 goals away.
