Aluminium Arak's performance in the current Persian Gulf Pro League season has been underwhelming, with the team currently positioned lower in the standings. Across 14 matches, they have secured only 4 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses, accumulating 15 points and sitting in 10th place. Their offensive capabilities appear limited, having scored just 8 goals while conceding 13, resulting in a goal difference of -5. Their home form offers some respite, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in 6 matches, yielding 8 points and an eighth-place ranking in home performance. The 33.3% win rate at home indicates some inconsistency, particularly in attack and defence. Recent form is a concern, with no wins in their last 6 matches, scoring 2 goals and conceding 7, suggesting a decline in both offensive and defensive strengths. Malavan holds a relatively stable position, currently ranked 8th. In 13 matches, they have achieved 4 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses, amassing 18 points, with an overall win percentage of 30.8%. Their home form is notably stronger, recording 3 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 7 home games, corresponding to a win rate of 42.9%. They've averaged 6 goals at home, exhibiting a balanced attack and defence and a strong home advantage. Despite weaker away results, their tactical approach and team spirit reveal resilience. Malavan's recent form shows consistent competitiveness in their last 6 matches, scoring 3 goals and conceding 7, indicating defensive vulnerabilities. However, they maintain their strength in ball possession and teamwork. The historical encounters between the two teams haven't shown a clear dominance by either side. This upcoming match could depend on current form and the effectiveness on the day. Aluminium Arak needs to improve their efficiency in transitioning between attack and defence, while Malavan will look to leverage their home advantage to further consolidate their league position.
