Esteghlal Khuzestan's recent form has been concerning, with a record of only one win, two draws, and seven losses in their last ten matches. Their win rate is a mere 10%, highlighting significant issues. Their attacking efficiency has been poor, suggesting the overall quality of their offence and defence needs improvement. Despite not conceding many goals, their halftime scores often range from 0-0 to 0-1, indicating difficulty in scoring early in matches. This is particularly evident against stronger teams, as seen in their matches against Persepolis and Sepahan, where they failed to earn any points. Furthermore, the team's performance has been impacted by fatigue and tactical challenges after a series of away games. Zob Ahan has also shown signs of fatigue recently, with only one win in their recent matches, although their goal-scoring record is relatively consistent. Recommendation: Esteghlal Khuzestan +0.25
