Foolad form and stats
Foolad, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) at home in Persian Gulf Pro League, have performed here at Shohadaye Foolad Khoozestan this season with 4 wins from 7 Persian Gulf Pro League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0.
The Foolad supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Padideh Khorasan in Persian Gulf Pro League and win 2-0. Preceding that game was the away draw at Sanat Naft that finished 1-1.
