Hojjat Ahmadi

① Fajr Sepasi and Paykan are closely matched in midfield battles.

② Paykan's pace could create chances on the break, but they may cancel each other out.

③ A measured game with chances at both ends seems likely.

① Sepahan's quality and form give them the edge despite the long travel to Paykan.

② Paykan will rely on home support and compact defending, but Sepahan's attack should break through in dry, cool conditions.

③ Expect a tight game with chances for both sides, and Sepahan grabbing a late, decisive goal.
