Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Nassaji Mazandaran in 9th and Naft Masjed Soleyman in 8th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Naft Masjed Soleyman have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
