View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The data clearly favor a scenario in which at least one team fails to score: Persepolis keep a clean sheet in 67% of their home matches, while Zob Ahan fail to score in 50% of their away fixtures. The hosts concede just 0.33 goals per game at home, while the visitors score only 0.50 goals away from home. BTTS - Yes has landed in just 33% of Persepolis’s home matches and 50% of Zob Ahan’s away matches, with the league average as low as 30%. Recent form also does little to improve the visitors’ chances, as they have averaged 0.6 goals scored over their last five matches, while Persepolis have conceded 0.6 goals per game during the same period. The most likely outcome is therefore BTTS - No, particularly a clean-sheet win for the hosts.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Persepolis concede just 0.33 goals per match at home and keep a clean sheet in 67% of games, clearly limiting Zob Ahan’s potential, as they average only 0.50 goals scored away from home. The hosts score 0.67 goals per match at home, although their recent attacking form has improved, with an average of 2.0 goals scored in their last five matches. Despite this, neither team has recorded a match with at least 4 goals this season, while the percentage of games under 3.5 goals stands at 100% for both sides. The league is also highly conservative, averaging 1.75 goals per match, with only 20% of games finishing Over 2.5 goals. The projected total of 1.65 goals points to a clear preference for the Under 3.5 goals market, which still leaves room for a 2:1 result.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Persepolis are in clearly better current form: they have averaged 2.0 goals and won 60% of their last five matches, while Zob Ahan have scored 0.6 goals and won only once. The hosts led at the break in 60% of their last five outings, with a first-half average of 1.2 goals scored and 0 conceded; the visitors managed just 0.2 goals before half-time and were level at the break in 80% of their matches. Persepolis’ defense remained unbeaten before half-time in 100% of their last five games, severely limiting Zob Ahan’s chances of taking the lead. After the interval, the hosts still hold the advantage, averaging 0.8 goals compared with the visitors’ 0.4, while Zob Ahan failed to win any of the analyzed second halves. The most likely outcome is therefore Persepolis leading at the break and maintaining their victory through to full-time, although the visitors’ high draw rate also warrants consideration of the X/X scenario.
