An important duel in the bottom section of the Persian Gulf Pro League, with both Paykan and Gol Gohar experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 14th place.
Paykan and Gol Gohar should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Gol Gohar have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Paykan form and stats
With 3 Persian Gulf Pro League wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Paykan, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Persian Gulf Pro League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Shahr-e Qods Stadium, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Esteghlal game.
Paykan are returning here after visiting Zob Ahan in a Persian Gulf Pro League game and winning with a 4-1 scoreline. F. Emamali (2) and S. Moghanlou scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Paykan lost 1-3 at home to Persepolis.
The Paykan fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 11 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Paykan with 22 goals conceded in these matches.
Gol Gohar form and stats
Gol Gohar have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Persian Gulf Pro League, after 1-3-7 (11 played).
Gohar have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 209 minutes ago. A. Ebrahimi was the goal scorer.
Gol Gohar failed to get anything from their last game, a Persian Gulf Pro League home match vs Padideh Khorasan (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-1. A 0-2 defeat away at Sepahan before that.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gol Gohar as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Gohar have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
