Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Saipa in 7th and Gol Gohar in 9th place.
- Saipa has the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in Persian Gulf Pro League
- Gol Gohar has the most matches over the total-line (8) in Persian Gulf Pro League

It's quite the trip for Gol Gohar when visiting Saipa as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
