This game may not be decided in the first 60 minutes, as both teams score the most goals in the 76-90 minute period — Foolad score 34% of their total goals in this period, while Esteghlal score 28% and concede 21% in the same period. The home side are unbeaten in 5 consecutive matches (3 wins, 2 draws), while the away side are on a 5-match winning run, but away games in the Iranian league are never easy, as seen from Foolad conceding just 1 goal in 3 matches this season. The picture is likely to be a game where both sides wait for their moment, then it comes down to the final 15 minutes, with the home side having a solid enough defense to hold out until then.
