1.60Tip and bets
The hosts have failed to take points from any of their opponents in the Champions League and it is unlikely that this will happen in the last round. In the previous face-to-face match, Sepahan won with a score of 4:0, and now the visitors need a victory even more, because a place in the playoffs is at stake. We think that the favorite will be able to properly tune in to this match, so we will bet on the success of the Iranian team.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Sepahan for 1.83
Bet on total
The visitors have had quite a few clean wins recently. Sepahan defense is working well and will probably be able to extend the clean streak, but it unlikely that the obvious underdog will be able to score against the leader of the Iranian championship. We believe that the visitors will score one or two goals and then calmly bring the match to victory.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.02
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that we expect the visitors to win in many areas, including corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners at Sepahan with odds of 1.70
