The sixteenth week of the Premier League Esteghlal and Sepahan; Portuguese derby!

According to the sports reporter of Fars news agency, the matches of the second round of the Premier League will start on Thursday. In fact, due to the World Cup being held in the fall and the 50-day vacation of the league at that time, there is no longer a break between the two halves of the season. In the first round, Persepolis became the half-season champion, but the trophy will be given to the champion team at the end of the season, and the Reds know that serious contenders such as Esteghlal, Sepahan, Gol Gohar and even Tractor Tabriz are chasing them.

We take a look at the three games tomorrow;

Mes Rafsanjan – Mazandaran textile; The beginning of young coaches again

The two teams have good conditions in the league table, Mes is in the fifth place with 22 points and Nasaji Mazandaran is ninth with 20 points. Both teams suffered their last defeat in the league against Persepolis, although Mes lost in the ninth week and did not lose again after that, but Nasaji Mazandaran lost 5-1 against Persepolis in the fourteenth week of the Premier League, so Hamid Motahari became the head coach of the team. But the club extended his contract for another season to show that he has complete trust in this young coach. Rabiei, however, will probably not be in Mes next season.

Mes Rafsanjan has the strongest defense line in the league with 4 goals conceded, and not every team can score against Mes, on the other hand, Nasaji Mazandaran conceded 20 goals and scored 18 goals, which is almost double the goals scored by Mes team. Masoud Shojaei left Nasaji in the middle of the season, and in the copper team, Godwin Mansha is also likely to leave this team. The first leg of the two teams ended with a 1-1 draw. Mes will remain in the same category in the league table if they win, but Nasaji will move up two or three places in the league table if they win.

Melan Anzali – Pikan Tehran; The meeting of neighbors from the bottom of the table

The meeting of neighbors from the bottom of the league table can be attractive for all bottom teams. Melvan is 13th in the table with 15 points, and Pikan is 12th in the league table with 16 points. The interesting thing is that Pikan has the weakest offensive line in the league with 7 goals. Of course, the sailor has only scored 11 goals. The interesting point of both teams is the use of young players, especially Pikan, who introduced prominent players to the Premier League this season, the most prominent of whom is Saman Fallah. In the first match, Pikan team won 1-0, but now Sailor has not lost for 5 weeks, but Pikan has sinusoidal results. The interesting thing about Melwan is that this team, which did not want to take the elimination cup seriously, lost 3-1 against Naft Masjid Suleiman because of the opponent’s use of an unauthorized player, and will probably advance to the round of 16 of the elimination cup.

Sepahan – Esteghlal; Portuguese derby!

The two teams contending for the championship of the Premier League finished the round with the third and fourth places and both have 27 points, but Sepahan is one level higher than the capital’s Blues thanks to their fiery offensive line. Both teams have Portuguese technical staff. On one side of the field, Sapinto is always lively on the bench and Sepahan is led by Morais, who is calm and composed. However, both of them have not yet been able to meet the expectations of their fierce and strict fans in the league. fulfill because they want Esteghlal and Sepahan to always be the best and the leader!

Esteghlal started the season with a loss to Sepahan in Azadi, and after that, not competing in Azadi Stadium became a bad habit for him this season, however, Esteghlal has better results away from home. This game can be called the Portuguese football derby of our country. Esteghlal ended the first half of the season with a defeat against Tractor, but avenged that loss in the elimination cup. Sepahan also recorded an unexpected defeat against Pikan in the fourteenth week of the Premier League.

In this game, former Sepahan forward Sajjad Shahbazada will play for Esteghlal this time. Esteghlal’s most important concern is the injury of Hossein Hosseini, the national goalkeeper, and Esteghlal’s medical staff is trying to prepare him for this important game in Sepahan, but Manuel Fernandez, a good and Portuguese player of Sepahan, will make it to this game.
