An important duel in the bottom section of the Persian Gulf Pro League, with both Paykan and Shahin Bushehr experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 16th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Shahin Bushehr have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Paykan form and stats
Paykan, who have the most conceded goals (14) at home in Persian Gulf Pro League, have played 8 Persian Gulf Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Paykan with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Esteghlal game, 52 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Paykan manager H. Faraki might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Paykan fans got no joy from their last match, a Persian Gulf Pro League game also here at Shahr-e Qods Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Nassaji Mazandaran (placed 10th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Tractor Sazi (2-3).
Paykan have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Shahr-e Qods Stadium with 15 goals in 8 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Paykan defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Shahin Bushehr form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Shahin Bushehr, who have the most conceded goals (33) in Persian Gulf Pro League, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Shahin Bushehr, who have now gone 17 games without a victory. The Persepolis Pakdasht game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Shahin Bushehr are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The attacking players of Shahin Bushehr have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 182 minutes.
There were no winners in Shahin Bushehr's previous match, a Persian Gulf Pro League home game that ended 0-0 vs Padideh Khorasan (placed 6th). It was a Hazfi Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Naft Masjed Soleyman wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Shahin Bushehr's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 9 matches. The Shahin Bushehr manager M. Karimian has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
