Round two of the Azadegan League campaign and the participants have learned from the first fixture. Here's the Qashqai - Saipa pre-match guide:
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Qashqai form and stats
The previous season, Qashqai's league stats were 10 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses, producing 14th spot in the Azadegan League. From these 34 matches they scored 29 goals and let in 35. Performing as the host team in the last season Qashqai managed 6-6-5 (win-draw-lost) with 12 goals and 12 conceded.
Happy days for Qashqai in their previous game, a Azadegan League match away at Shahin Bushehr (placed 14th) that ended with a 2-1 victory.
In the match before that, Qashqai hosted Pars Jam Bushehr and drew the game 0-0.Saipa form and stats
Let's have a look at how Saipa performed last season in the Persian Gulf Pro League: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 11 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 19 and conceded 34 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 6 and lost 8 with 9/21 goals scored/conceded. Saipa seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
There were no winners in Saipa's previous match, a Azadegan League home game that ended 1-1 vs Esteghlal Khuzestan (placed 8th).
Prior to that match, the Saipa manager M. Akhbari faced defeat when travelling to Tractor Sazi and losing 1-5.Head 2 Head
