The attacking players of Gohar have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 221 minutes.
There might be some fixture complaints from Gol Gohar as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Persian Gulf Pro League match against Esteghlal (0-2).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Padideh Khorasan wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gol Gohar as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Gohar as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
