Heartbreak before that as Esteghlal Mollasani lost 0-1 at Mes Shahr-e Babak's place.

Saipa form and stats

0-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Saipa in their Azadegan League matches away. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

Saipa have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 270 minutes ago.

There might be some fixture complaints from Saipa as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Azadegan League match against Caspian Qazvin (0-2).

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Pars Jam Bushehr.

Goals are few and far between in Saipa's away league games. Only 0 goals from 5 travels. It's not easy to score on Saipa as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
