According to Varzesh3, Sepahan is preparing for the tenth-week match of the Premier League in circumstances where Esteghlal's dropping of points has placed this team in a position where, if they beat Mes Shahrbabak by a margin of 2 goals, they will pass the Blues and will hope for slips by Persepolis and Tractor in the remainder of the league.

Sepahan currently sits in fourth place in the table with 17 points, and Esteghlal is in third place with 20 points. The other 20-point teams are Tractor and Persepolis: Tehran's Reds will face a hard match against Foolad Khuzestan, and Tractor is awaiting the disciplinary committee's verdict for the match with Malavan.

Moharram Navidkia whose team had been on a good run in recent weeks, dropped two important points against Shams Azar Qazvin; nevertheless, with the training sessions they have held and the home game at Naghsh-e Jahan, conditions have completely changed for them, and against Mes Shahrbabak they are seeking the three points that will change this team's conditions in the competition table.

Navidkia yesterday closely supervised his team's last training session and will send the eleven players he has in mind for this match onto the field with defined individual responsibilities and attacking play; earning the three points is one of their plans, and creating a greater goal difference is among their main goals for this match.
