OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Foolad's two home games in the Persian Gulf Pro League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Shohadaye Artesh Stadium. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Foolad.
