2016 AFC Champions League

Are we playing our away games against the Saudi teams in KSA?

It will either be in UAE or Bahrain. Our home games would either be in Uzbekistan or Tajikistan I think.

It would have been good, if Tractor could've played in Baku The stadium would have been packed.

[Ghermez Agha]

So basically all 3 of our teams KSA matches are the remaining games, and all home games will be played away. Unfortunately Sepahan is pretty much as good as out, while other 2 teams have a good chance of advancing, and hopefully topping their groups.

Are we playing our away games against the Saudi teams in KSA?

How is sepahan as good as out? There is 3 matches remaining and they are just two points out from second place, they can easily still take runner up. As bad as they played yesterday it's important to consider how poorly ittihad has been playing, sepahan beat Al Nasr already so we know on a good day they can beat anyone, and lokomotiv wasn't special sepahan just didn't come ready to play. Point I'm making is that sepahan still has a lot of life left in them this group is still completely up for grabs.

From what I've read and understand, the away games against KSA teams will be played on neutral soil as well.

It would have definitely been a packed stadium in Baku, but I'd rather not to play an Azeri team's games there, as we will only see a bunch of pro-separatist losers show up, to carry out their moronic agenda.

So yeah as an Iranian Azeri, I say F&*% those northern Azeris and Turks who look forward to take Iran's Azerbaijan away!

Oh I thought Sepahan has only 2 games left against the Saudi team. Although Al-Ittihad seems quite weak this time around!

[O-ZoNe]

There is a reason why Zob Ahan just won 2 of their last 10 games...

Let me see, drawing against one of Uzbekistan's best and well known teams, a team that is currently undefeated in their league (albeit just a few games played)...being tied for first in your Champions league draw (second only on goal differential) and yet to lose...and you are complaining?

Zob Ahan is IPL's most professional team, and our best chance at winning this. Their is a reason why this team is where it is and spends a fraction of the money Tractor, Sepahan, Esteghlal, and even Perspolis get. Zob is the IPL's only half decent professional team...a team that get's no military conscription players, has to rely on a company sponsorship for funding, and has to always take a backseat to Sepahan in Esfahan yet consistently punches above its weight.

Let's not omit Esteghlal Khuzestan. One of the youngest and lowest budgeted PGL teams, yet amongst the top 2 teams throughout the season thus far!

[PersianLegion]

This is the best pitch in Tajikistan. Their national team and Istiqlol Dushanbe home ground, called Pomir/Pamir Stadium (also known as central republican stadium).

Honestly I think FooladShahr is better. You can compare it yourself.

Another clean sheet for Mazaheri, he hasn't allowed a goal in ACL yet after three games. Had some solid stops today including an exceptional double-save. I'm glad CQ invited him to TM, he deserves it.

They owe it to Mazaheri for not losing. The guy made some stunning saves.

[inarsenewetrust]

for me its straight fight between mazaheri and haghighi for starting spot for TM

When they do it consistently....or at least more often than not I certainly will take your advice.

Mazaheri should start. He is currently in the best form compared to all of our other keepers. He should get the nod against India.

[saeed_noro]

How is sepahan as good as out?

because of their performance they are as good as out. not because of points. i have no trust in their performance and specially in their defense work. their defense line does not exists.

The group is very close. Anything is possible. This was not expected prior to the draw of this group. Sepahan and Al Ittihad were the favourites to go through, but we still got a chance. Although it will pretty much be done if we cant beat Lokomotiv in Tashkent.
