Mes Rafsanjan vs Zob Ahan: match statistics
The match promises to be a very tight clash between two teams from the bottom of the table, sitting in 16th and 15th place respectively. Mes Rafsanjan presents poor form with just one victory in the last five matches and an alarming rate of 63% of home games without scoring a goal. Zob Ahan fares even worse in away matches, failing to win any of their last five encounters and scoring just 0.63 goals on average per away game. A key factor favoring a draw is the high percentage of draws for both teams (38% for the hosts at home, 38% for the visitors away) and the very poor offensive efficiency of both sides. The form of both squads in the last five matches is negative, which further increases the probability of splitting points in this meeting of two teams fighting for survival.
