The visiting Esteghlal side should be favourites in this visit to Pars Jam Bushehr, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.
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 Esteghlal have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
