Match begins: 11:00 (UTC)
Venue: Bonyan Diesel Stadium (25000 seats)

Tractor Sazi will cross fingers that their home advantage is enough to get at least a point from this hard battle, vs high-flying Sepahan.

Insights:
  • Tractor Sazi have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won.
  • Sepahan have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sepahan have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

This could be an intriguing game with lots of action and energy as both contenders are well revitalized since they last saw competitive action. Bring it on!
