However, Persepolis will be without Hossein Kanani-Zadegan due to injury. Danial Eiri, who has recently made a partial recovery, may join his team. The Reds hope to take advantage of the opportunity against Kheybar and leave Khorramabad with a full hand.
Kheybar Khorramabad's Challenges
On the other side, Kheybar Khorramabad is not in a favorable condition. This team has only managed to secure one victory in their previous seven matches and, under the guidance of Faraz Kamalvand, is looking to improve their disappointing results from recent weeks. Kheybar has conceded 10 goals, making it one of the weakest defensive lines in the league, which could be a vulnerability for Persepolis's attack.
Nevertheless, Kheybar has performed relatively well in the attacking phase, managing to score 10 goals in seven matches. The team hopes to leverage this strength to cause trouble for Persepolis. Today's clash is of high importance for both teams; Persepolis is pursuing the top spot while Kheybar is seeking to improve their position in the table.
This match is vital not only for the Reds but also for Kheybar, as it could influence the fate of both teams in the continuation of the league. While Persepolis aims to solidify their position at the top of the table, Kheybar is striving with all their might to emerge from this crisis and boost their morale by earning points.
