Delay of the seventh week of the twenty-sixth league;

Persepolis football team has the opportunity to win against Khyber Khorram Abad in the delayed match of the seventh week and climb to the top of the table and take the other place of the red team of the 26th League.

According to the reporter of Mehr, the match between Khyber Khorramabad and Persepolis football teams will be held at 17:00 today, Wednesday, from the delayed matches of the seventh week of the Premier League, and the full score of this match is very important for both teams.

Persepolis is in second place with 16 points and Khyber Khorramabad is in twelfth place with seven points. This difference in position puts the Reds in the top position in the table, but the conditions of the two teams on the field and the difficulty of the game in Khorramabad can create different equations.

Persepolis and an opportunity to become the leader

The team led by Mehdi Tartar needs the points of this match to keep up with the competition at the top of the table. The loss of points in the delayed games can take away the opportunity to get closer to the top from Persepolis. For this reason, the Pales can't enter the field with the look of a normal match.

However, the situation of the defense line is one of the important concerns of Persepolis before the trip to Khorramabad, because Mohammad Hossein Kananizadegan cannot play for this team again, so that Hassan Abarqawi, the husband of Mohammad Mehdi Zare, will probably become the heart of this team's defense.

In such a situation, maintaining a balance between attack and defense is very important. In order to reach the goal, Persepolis should not give the hosts the necessary space for Khyber's counterattacks, especially if they have to use a different combination in the defense line.

Home opportunity to change the direction of Khyber

On the other hand, Khyber needs home points with seven points and being in the twelfth place. The distance between this team and Persepolis in the table is significant, but getting a result against one of the contenders can improve Khyber's morale and position.

To succeed in this match, Faraz Kamalvand's students must use the advantage of hosting and at the same time, be careful of the space behind their defense line. If Persepolis finds an opportunity to circulate the ball and get close to the penalty area, it can put pressure on Khyber's defenders; Therefore, the host must have a regular performance in pressing, covering the spaces and returning after the ball is exposed.

Considering the difference in the position of the two teams, Persepolis has better conditions on paper, but the result of this match undoubtedly depends on how to use the opportunities and control the critical moments like the previous confrontations between the two teams.
