Machine Sazi form and stats

Machine Sazi have played three Persian Gulf Pro League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Machine, their manager H. Afazeli and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Machine are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 184 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by F. Mohammadi).

Machine shared the glory with Saipa in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Ahead of that match, Machine lost 0-1 at home to Tractor Sazi.

Machine has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Machine's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
