Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sepahan & Shahid Oraki face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Hazfi Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Sepahan form and stats
Last season their Hazfi Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.Sepahan have played 5 Persian Gulf Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-0 (wins-draws-losses).
