Machine Sazi, who have the most conceded goals (34) in Persian Gulf Pro League, only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Machine have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Padideh Khorasan game.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Machine Sazi, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Naft Masjed Soleyman (placed 11th). Late heartbreak for Machine in the Naft Masjed Soleyman match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.

A draw for Machine Sazi before that, at their own venue hosting Saipa (2-2).
