Gol Gohar football team faces Al-Muharraq today, as Seyed Mehdi Rahmati's charges look to secure their first Asian victory.

The Gol Gohar football team is facing the Al Muharraq team today, as Seyyed Mehdi Rahmati's students are looking for their first Asian victory.

According to the reporter of Mehr, the Golgohar Sirjan football team, which is the only representative of Iranian football in the current season of the Asian Champions League 2, will face Bahrain's Al Muharraq team in the second week of the group stage of this competition, starting at 19:30 today, Wednesday, 22 Mehr, at the Al-Seeb Stadium in Amman. A match where Seyed Mehdi Rahmati's students hope to celebrate their first win in the Asian competition by winning it.

Iran's football representative has prepared for this match in a situation where problems related to flight restrictions have put a difficult path in front of this team. To attend the competition venue, Golgeharis had to travel a distance of about 3,500 kilometers; The issue that led to the dissatisfaction of Seyed Mehdi Rahmati, the head coach of this team. Referring to the difficulties of the trip, Rahmati asked the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to take care of this situation so that similar problems do not arise for Iranian football representatives in the continuation of the competition.

In their first match in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, Golgohr drew 2 against Al Jazeera, Emirates and now they are looking for three points in the second match. This team, which is following the experience of participating in such a level of Asian competitions, hopes to use the opportunity against the representative of Bahrain to get its first historic victory in this tournament and improve its conditions in the group table.

On the opposite side, Al Muharraq is located in Bahrain; The team that played against Esteghlal of Iran in two matches last season and the result of the confrontations between the two teams was one victory for each. The representative of Bahrain lost against Arkadag of Turkmenistan in his first game in the current season of the Asian Champions League 2, and to make up for the unfavorable result of the opening match, he will look for points against Golgohar.

Of course, Al-Muharraq's conditions are not limited to Asian competitions and this team has not achieved very good results in Bahrain's domestic league either. Al-Muharraq did not win in their first four matches in the league of this country and with two draws and two defeats and a total of two points, they are in the 11th place in the 12-team table. The statistics show that the representative of Bahrain also enters this match with unexpected conditions.

On the other hand, Golghar has a better situation in the Iranian Premier League. Rahmati's students have managed to get 13 points from their eight matches in the premier league, and due to the lower goal difference compared to Aluminum Arak, they are in seventh place in the table. The representative of Iran hopes to get a favorable result by relying on his conditions in domestic competitions and using the opportunity to face Al-Muharraq and return to the Asian competitions with a better spirit.

Of course, Golgohar will have an absentee for this match, and Alireza Ehsanifar will not be able to accompany his team in the match against Al Muharraq due to injury. The absence of this player is one of the limitations of Iran's representative in a match where obtaining a favorable result can play an important role in the continuation of this team's Asian journey.

The match between Iran's Golghar and Bahrain's Al-Muharraq is under the responsibility of Ngudu Lan from Vietnam. Now it has to be seen whether Iran's football representative, despite the difficulties of traveling and the absence of one of his players, can get out of this match with three points and register his first Asian victory.
