In the upcoming match of the Persian Gulf Pro League, Aluminium Arak will face Malavan. Both teams are in need of points to improve their standings, indicating a strong desire to win. Aluminium Arak, currently 10th in the league with 15 points from 14 matches, has struggled recently, with a record of four losses and two draws in their last six games, increasing their relegation pressure. Although they are a seasoned home team with a solid defence, conceding less than one goal per game on average, their attack has been weak, scoring only 0.57 goals per game. A victory is crucial for Aluminium Arak to boost morale and move away from the bottom of the table. Malavan's situation is slightly better. Their overall record shows 4 wins and 6 draws, with a goal difference of +3, indicating strong control in point management. Aluminium Arak's performance in the current Persian Gulf Pro League season has been average. In 14 matches, they have won only 4, drawn 3, and lost 7, accumulating 15 points and ranking 10th. Their attacking efficiency is low, with only 8 goals scored, while conceding 13, resulting in a goal difference of -5, showing a contradiction between their offence and defence. Their away performance is particularly concerning, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses in 8 games, scoring 4 goals and conceding 10, resulting in a goal difference of -6, indicating weak away form. Moreover, they have averaged only 6 points in the last 6 games, with a win rate of only 0%, suggesting problems in both attack and mentality, especially in critical matches, which raises doubts.
