According to IRNA, after losing in the first week of the 22nd season of the Iranian Premier League, Esteghlal Tehran football team will have to face their host Melvan Bandar Anzali in the second week. The match will be played at Takhti Anzali Stadium on Thursday at 19:30.

Led by Ricardo Sapinto, Tehrani blue-coats are looking to make up for the loss of the first week. On the other hand, Maziar Zare and his students have the same goal. In the first step, they lost to their hosts with one goal, and now they have a good chance to make up for it at home.

These two teams have faced each other 28 times in the history of the Premier League, the result of which was 14 wins for the capital team, four victories for Anzlichi and 10 draws. They have not lined up against each other in these competitions after the fall of Melwan in the 15th league, and it remains to be seen what the result of the conflict between these two teams will be after 6 seasons of absence.

In the first leg of the 15th League, Esteghlal passed the Melvan barrier with 2 goals by Omid Ebrahimi, but in the second leg, hosted by the representative of Gilan province, a 2-2 draw prevailed. In that meeting, Jaber Ansari and Mohsen Karimi scored for Esteghlal, and on the other hand, Seyed Jalal Rafkhai scored both goals for White Swans.

Tehrani blue-coats have always faced serious challenges in Anzali. They have not won in the last five meetings with Selvan at home and in the Premier League, and they have won 2 draws and 3 losses. The last victory of the capital team in the Takhti Stadium and in the Premier League dates back to 11 years, eight months and 20 days ago, or in other words, 4281 days ago. where they overcame their 10-man opponent with Hanif Omranzadeh's single goal. It has to be seen whether this spell will be broken in the second week of the 22nd league or not.

The sailors, on the other side of the story, have to break the spell. They have not won their last three games in the 15th league and failed to score in the first week of the season as they look for their first win in 2309 days in the Premier League. Their last win was against a Tehrani team in Anzali. Where the White Swans beat Saipa in the 27th week of the 15th League with a score of 3-2.

It should be seen whether the spell will break this week or not.
