4th position in the Persian Gulf Pro League table for Esteghlal so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 8th-placed Aluminium Arak visits Azadi Stadium.
- Esteghlal has the most clean sheets (5) in Persian Gulf Pro League
- Aluminium Arak have yet to win a game away.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Esteghlal form and stats
Seven points from three Persian Gulf Pro League home games is a great start for Esteghlal, who are hoping to build on that form here at Azadi Stadium.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Esteghlal, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 187 minutes in the Persian Gulf Pro League.
0-0 away at Zob Ahan before that.
The Esteghlal fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Esteghlal have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Aluminium Arak form and stats
The visitors are W0-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Persian Gulf Pro League. It's three draws from Aluminium's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Aluminium Arak has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Padideh Khorasan for a Persian Gulf Pro League game that ended a draw (2-2). Before that, Aluminium secured a home win against Sanat Naft with the score 1-0.
Goals are few and far between in Aluminium Arak's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. It's not easy to score on Aluminium as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
