Tip and bets
The visitors have been dominating the Iranian championship lately and are set to take the championship title again. A win over their direct competitor will put Persepolis in first place, and we believe that the current champion will achieve their goal, as the team has not lost yet this season.
Our prediction is Persepolis win at 2.25
Bet on total
It is unlikely that both teams will be able to score in this encounter. In the last four face-to-face matches, at least one of the teams left the field without scoring goals, we believe that history will repeat itself now.
Our prediction is that at least one team will not score with odds of 1.90
Bet on corners
Most likely, in this match the teams will rely on defense, so do not expect a large number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.72
