Saipa delivered a 1-2 result against Esteghlal Mollasani in their previous game, a fixture to learn from. The next task is this formidable Malavan team.
- Saipa have the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in Azadegan League
- Malavan have the the best goal difference (+7) in Azadegan League
Malavan have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
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!

Saipa have collected 9 points from their Azadegan League home games so far after 2-3-0.

Two draws in a row at home now for Saipa.
No payout for Saipa in their previous match, an away game at Esteghlal Mollasani that ended in defeat 1-2.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Kheybar Khorramabad.Malavan are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league.
