Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.

That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.

Our prediction is: Esteghlal to win

In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than Esteghlal to win outright, which is our betting tip.

Esteghlal's strong form this season, particularly at home, is hard to overlook, as are Sepahan's shaky overall results and performances of late. And we expect the two sides to play true to form when they meet for their upcoming match.
