THE PREDICTION
Vitaliy Levchenko’s Istiklol come into this on the back of a 3-0 win against Ravshan in the Tajik league over the international break. They have won their last eight matches in which they have conceded just one goal and scored 33. They come up against a Persepolis side that won the Iranian league title last season quite comfortably as well asn cruising through their Champions League group with five wins out of six. Persepolis have played just a few competitive fixtures, though, since then. They will be favourites for this but it could be a low-scoring encounter given a potential lack of match sharpness.
