The key factor is defensive solidity: Nassaji conceded only 4 goals during this period, while Gol Gohar conceded as many as 10, an average of 2 goals per match. The hosts have lost 3 of their last 5 games and are currently on a two-match losing streak, whereas the visitors have won 2 of their three most recent outings.

The stronger signal points to BTTS - No, as Nassaji Mazandaran recorded BTTS in only 20% of their last 5 matches. During this period, the visitors conceded just 0.8 goals per game—4 goals in 5 appearances—which could limit the hosts. Gol Gohar averaged 1.2 goals scored, but also lost 3 of their last 5 matches and conceded as many as 2.0 goals per game.

Gol Gohar averaged 1.0 goal scored before half-time, but also conceded the same number, while Nassaji kept a clean sheet at the break in 80% of their recent matches.
