Paykan vs Aluminium Arak tips and predictions

Paykan see off Aluminium Arak's challenge

Even if it's just a single crucial passage of play Paykan might have the measure of things here.

On home soil Paykan will rightly be confident about adding to Aluminium Arak's woes. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 3 losses from their last 4 away trips. That might not be suitable preparation for this.

This home squad is making the most of a recent run of form with plenty of reasons for confidence. Paykan have scored at least once in 12 of their recent 13 matches while kudos is also due for their defence. At the back they have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 8 home games.

Aluminium Arak can be vulnerable when they lose their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 6 matches. Their critics might also point to the stats from the other end of the pitch. In front of goal the visitors have been underwhelming. They've scored one or less goals in 13 of their last 15 matches.

It looks poised to be good match and the home side can take advantage of any complacency on the part of their rivals.

The sportsbooks' prices suggest that one of these sides doesn't look likely to score in a match that has potential to under-deliver. But the big price for the BTTS Yes is the better way to extract some value from the match.
