This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Persepolis at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium when the AFC Champions League tournament arrives in town and Al Wahda with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Wahda have to travel 2200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Persepolis form and stats

Last season, Persepolis's AFC Champions League journey ended in the finals.

This stadium, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, has been a fortress for Persepolis in the Persian Gulf Pro League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 9-2-0. Persepolis has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Aluminium Arak defeat 79 days ago. The Persepolis fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and will expect new points from this game. Persepolis has played twelve games in a row here without a defeat.

Persepolis's previous game was a Persian Gulf Pro League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Nassaji Mazandaran. The home side are looking to build on that result. 1-1 away at Padideh Khorasan before that.

Persepolis are traveling soon after this match as the AFC Champions League match at Al Rayyan awaits in three days.

The Persepolis fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. Defensively Persepolis have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (4 in 11 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Al Wahda are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 11 away games so far. 16 goals have been conceded by Wahda in these games.
