Esteghlal vs. Persepolis FC

Esteghlal is a powerhouse defensive team, surrendering just four goals in nine matches, the second-best in the Persian Gulf League. They focus on a slow-paced, defensive style as the offense has 11 goals. However, it's effective as the team is unbeaten over the last seven matches, including five shutouts and two 0-0 DRAWS. They won't have any trouble shutting down a Persepolis FC squad that has scored six goals, but the defense is No. 1 in the league surrendering just two goals in seven games. They are winless over the last three contests despite allowing just two goals and are coming off a 0-0 tie with Sepahan. Look for an all-out defensive battle. Take the UNDER in this one.
