This could be an interesting match as Esteghlal Khuzestan have their presumed home advantage while Mes Kerman are ahead 9 points in the Azadegan League table.

These teams have little in common geographically as Mes Kerman have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
