Yahya Golmohammadi, fully aware of the football events, stated in the press conference before this match that he wants nothing but victory from the thirtieth match of this team against the representative of Qatar.
Regardless of the results of the other games, the Reds will celebrate the promotion in the stadium by winning Al-Dhail, which will probably be the same for the Reds.

If Al-Fiha crosses the Pakhtakor barrier with two or more goals and Persepolis is stopped, then the Reds will be eliminated along with Al-Sad Qatar.
Yahya Golmohammadi not only does not have Morteza Pouraliganji, Vahid Amiri and Yasin Salmani to choose his team’s starting line-up, but Omid Alishah’s injury again caused him to leave the list of players to lose his place in the starting line-up.
Al Duhail also does not have its star Philippe Coutinho due to injury and Semedo due to suspension, but players like Michael Olonga can definitely disturb the defense of Persepolis.
Now the Reds have to beat Al-Dhail, regardless of any marginal incident, to not only celebrate promotion but also clear the 10% penalty on their contracts for the current season.
