Persepolis form and stats
Persepolis participated in AFC Champions League the last season, where they reached the finals.Persepolis have been very solid at home in the Persian Gulf Pro League so far, with 29 points collected from 11 matches (9-2-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. 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 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 85 days ago.
It's back home for Persepolis, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Al Rayyan away with the result 3-1. K. Kamyabinia and S. Moghanlou (2) found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Persepolis won a home game hosting Al Wahda (1-0).
The manager Y. Golmohammadi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Zob Ahan in only three days.
Persepolis are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games.
