Zob Ahan vs Nassaji Mazandaran tips and predictions

Anticipated Persian Gulf Pro League battle will be tight

There are arguments to be made for both sides in this clash so be careful when picking a winner. The suspicion is that this is going to be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick.

These sides have impressed at the back. In their last 3 matches Zob Ahan have only conceded 0.7 goals. Meanwhile Nassaji Mazandaran have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 2 of the last 4 have ended in a draw.

Few would argue with the notion that only one side is likely to score as the match is likely to be tight. In the Both Teams To Score market, the No option is the pick. And taking a look at the goal line, it's no more than one goal in this game given the latest odds.

Zob Ahan have drawn 8 of their last 18 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Tractor last Friday. Nassaji Mazandaran have drawn 3 of their last 5 away matches and while any draw is predicted, a scoreline of 0-0 shouldn't be dismissed here. The conclusion is there's nothing to like about the home or away win prices so the draw is certainly food for thought. Deadlock is on the cards after what looks likely to be a tightly contested match-up.
