This match features two teams living in the basement of the Persian Gulf Pro League, Gol Gohar holding 15th place and Saipa lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It's quite the trip for Saipa when visiting Gol Gohar as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Gol Gohar form and stats
With 1 Persian Gulf Pro League win, 5 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Gol Gohar are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A nice win for Gol Gohar last time playing, versus Machine Sazi. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with M. Abdi scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Gol Gohar lost 0-1 at Nassaji Mazandaran's place.
Gol Gohar have scored 3 goals here in 8 league matches, a depressing statistic. Gol Gohar are not conceding a lot of goals here at Shahid Bahonar Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 8 matches.
Saipa form and stats
Saipa have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Persian Gulf Pro League, after 1-1-5 (7 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Saipa's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Saipa won their last game, 3-1 versus Zob Ahan played at home. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Persepolis.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Saipa as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Saipa have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
