Sepidrood Rasht hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 15th position in the Persian Gulf Pro League table. Visiting Foolad holds 6th place with 33 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Foolad have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
