Persepolis have traveled here for an interesting AFC Champions League fight against Al Taawon. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!

It's no vacation for neither Taawon nor Persepolis 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.

It's quite the trip for Persepolis when visiting Al Taawon as the cities are 1800 kilometers apart.

Al Taawon form and stats

8-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Al Taawon so far this season. On the other hand, in the AFC Champions League, Al Taawon has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss.

The fans are hoping that Al Taawon will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the AFC Champions League game against Persepolis. Before that, Al Taawon had a Pro League home game versus Al Feiha which ended with a victory 1-0.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the AFC Champions League game versus Al Sharjah in only three days. This game is also played here at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.

Taawon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. Al Taawon's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Persepolis form and stats

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

Persepolis's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Persepolis collect 35 points from their 15 away matches in the Persian Gulf Pro League. 11 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). When we have look at the AFC Champions League statistics, we find 1W-1D-1L. This is both home and away. Persepolis are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eleven in a row without losing.

Impressive finishing from S. Khalilzadeh secured the home win 1-0 against Al Taawon in their previous game. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Esteghlal (after extra-time, 1-4 on penalties) in the Hazfi Cup.

A new game in only three days for Persepolis, the AFC Champions League home match versus Al Duhail. Busy days.

The travelling fans enjoy Persepolis's attacking play in away games, having scored 27 goals in 15 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
