Persepolis hosts Zob Ahan in round 6 of the Persian Gulf Pro League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 31st at Azadi Stadium (Tehran)
The reigning champions of Iran look rather ambiguous at the start of the new season. Persepolis tied three times and gained two victories in the starting five matches of the tournament. Striking is the very high-quality defense of the team, which conceded only once in the starting five rounds. Persepolis scored five goals, but three of them fell on one match. As a result, four out of five games ended with Under 2.5 goals scored. Well, this is actually not surprising because Persepolis played with such an outcome in two-thirds of the matches of the last champion’s season. Low scoring is the norm for Iranian football, and a match with three goals scored or more is a rather rare occurrence.

Zob Ahan started the current season very modestly. The team has no victories, but there are FIVE draws and two defeats. The team knows how to put a spoke in the wheels of competitors, and loves the 1-1 score. Of course, Ahan is an outsider in the match against the current national champion. But in general, the team plays well with Persepolis. In the previous five head-to-head matches, the visitors gained two victories and lost twice, and one game ended in a draw. Ahan scores regularly, but we can’t call them some kind of rebels that arranges a goal shootout from match to match. Six out of seven matches of the current championship ended with Under 2.5 goals scored. In the match with the reigning champion, Zob Ahan will certainly act very carefully, and there is no need to wait for goal extravaganza.
In general, you can bet on low scoring in each match of the Iranian championship. The teams are in no hurry to score, and a large part of the matches ends with one or two goals scored. I think the upcoming match will also not be full of bright attempts and goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
