Matchup between Foolad x Paykan F.C. is shaping up to be one of those affairs where recent results gets out the window. Kicking off
Foolad’s been hot and cold, their showings swinging from brilliant to baffling. Meanwhile, Paykan F.C.’s scrapping through a rough patch, their defense looking shaky.

In terms of the Pro League, this game carries added significance.
