In their previous game, the manager M. Jalali led his Gol Gohar to a defeat in the Persian Gulf Pro League match away at Persepolis. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Shahid Bahonar Stadium. In the match before that, Gol Gohar hosted Naft Masjed Soleyman and drew the game 0-0.
