Paykan form and stats
With 2 Persian Gulf Pro League wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Paykan are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Persian Gulf Pro League games in a row without a win, the Paykan fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Gol Gohar game long ago, can be stopped today.
Paykan are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 188 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Ranjbari).
Paykan travelled for their previous game, a trip to Gol Gohar that ended 0-0.

Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Paykan as a small favourite), we find ten games. Paykan has won seven of these, drawn two and lost one.
