Leandro is hurt.. The other foreign players aren't anything special. I think this will be an easier matchup compared to Duhail and Al Saad.

[Nokhodi]

They're a very good team and the way their leagues are scheduled, their teams are very much in peak condition right now physically and cohesively.

Cannot take them lightly at all.

ACL is tailored to East Asian teams' schedule and there is a reason East Asian teams have won the final in the past 5 tournaments.

[DJPedram]

The past 10 results from Asian Champions League FInal:

2008 Japan Gamba Osaka
2009 South Korea Pohang Steelers
2010 South Korea Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma
2011 South Korea Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors
2012 South Korea Ulsan Hyundai
2013 South Korea FC Seoul
2014 Saudi Arabia Al-Hilal
2015 China Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao
2016 United Arab Emirates Al-Ain
2017 Japan Urawa Red Diamonds

Only twice, West Asian Team have won, UAE and Saudi's, the rest are all Japanese or South Korea.
Looks like this will be interesting final to watch.

Your stats are not right.
Ever since the tournament reverted to a 2 leg tournament again, only East Asian teams have won the tournament:

2013: Guangzhou Evergrande
2014: Western Sydney Wanderers
2015: Guangzhou Evergrande
2016: Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors
2017: Urawa Red Diamonds

PP should really sit out any stupid IpL games and focus on the ACL. It is just not the time to play against “Fazel-Abe” Sulooghoun.

Does persepolis benefit from playing a League game 4 days before their return match, or will this be rescheduled?

[naderb94]

Perspolis needs to reschedule both league games focus only on ACL at the moment.

[eerooni]

ACL will not only earn persep a trophy and respect but much needed cash to pay their players and debt !!

[IranPowned]

The games of Perspolis are rescheduled. They only play against Saipa, after that they will the play the two legs against Kashima. It will be very difficult: Kashima is very fit (they are comeback kings and have very good stamina). While yesterday, when Perspolis played a lot of players were outgassed at the 70 minute.

Persepolis was still pressing near the last few minutes of the game. If anything, their physical fitness is their strength.
However, Kashima is very fit as you mentioned.

no the cash they receive is only enough to cover travel expenses to japan

kashima is def fit but its nothing perspolis hasn't seen. i don't think anyone on kashima is as good as Gabi, Xavi, or Bounejah.
