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!
Chooka Talesh are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Esteghlal Mollasani are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Chooka Talesh have played 15 Azadegan League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-5 (wins-draws-losses).
The home team returns to Sardar Jangal Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Navad Urmia (placed 17th) on their last time out; the Azadegan League game ended 1-1.
The Chooka fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Chooka have conceded 21 in these home matches.
Esteghlal Mollasani have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Azadegan League, after 3-3-8 (14 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Esteghlal Mollasani are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Esteghlal Mollasani had fun at their own home (Sardar Jangal Stadium) last time out, beating Pars Jam Bushehr 2-1. The end of the last match, against Pars Jam Bushehr, was very satisfying as Ramiro Cristobal scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The visiting Esteghlal have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 14 games. As for defending, Esteghlal Mollasani rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 24 goals from these away matches.
