Date: Wed 23.October
Match begins: 13:30 (UTC)
Venue: Takhti Stadium

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 14th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Malavan form and stats

The story so far in the Azadegan League for Malavan at their home stadium (Takhti Stadium) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. It's trouble wherever Malavan are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Malavan, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The fans are hoping that Malavan will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Azadegan League game against Navad Urmia (placed 4th). Before that game, the home loss against Oxin Alborz with the scoreline 0-1.

The Malavan fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
