View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal points to BTTS - No, as Esteghlal have kept a clean sheet in 100% of their home matches so far, conceding just 1 goal in total. Paykan average 1.0 goal scored away from home, but have failed to score in 67% of such matches, which clearly limits their prospects against such a tight defense. In their last five matches, Esteghlal conceded just 0.2 goals per game, while Paykan scored only 0.6 goals. BTTS - Yes occurred in just 20% of the teams’ last five matches, while the league average for this market is a low 31%. A No Goal scenario for one of the sides, particularly Paykan, is therefore significantly more likely than both teams scoring.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The match profile points to a very limited number of goals: the league-wide average is just 1.76 goals, while only 20% of matches go over 2.5 goals. Esteghlal have averaged 1.6 goals scored over their last 5 matches, but conceded just 0.2 per game, allowing opponents only one goal in total during that period. Paykan averaged 0.6 goals per game over the same span, and both teams recorded matches with three or more goals in only 20% of their last five appearances. In addition, only 20% of each team’s recent matches ended with both sides scoring, further reducing the likelihood of an open game. The projected total of 1.81 goals favors Under 3.5, as at least four goals would be required for this selection to lose, despite the hosts’ highly solid defensive record.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Esteghlal have been clearly superior in their last five matches, averaging 1.6 goals scored and conceding just 0.2, while remaining unbeaten. By contrast, Paykan have averaged 0.6 goals scored and 1.0 conceded. A draw at half-time is nevertheless highly plausible, having occurred in 60% of the hosts’ recent matches and as many as 80% of Paykan’s, while Esteghlal have not conceded before the break in any of their last five outings. After half-time, the hosts improve their attacking output to an average of 1.0 goal, conceding just 0.2, whereas the visitors score only 0.4 goals on average in the second half. Paykan have lost 40% of their last five matches and have not led at the break in any of them, limiting their chances of maintaining a favourable result. The strongest scenario is therefore a cautious 0:0 at half-time, followed by an Esteghlal victory based on their superior quality and stronger performance after the break.
