How We Build the Zob Ahan vs Esteghlal Tehran Prediction

Betiball.com's prediction for Zob Ahan vs Esteghlal Tehran on 23 January 2026 is generated by a statistical model that processes over 30 data points per match — including each team's last ten results, expected goals (xG), shots on target, defensive line metrics, set-piece vulnerability, and confirmed squad availability. For this Persian Gulf Pro League fixture, our model also factors in home and away performance splits and any confirmed injuries or suspensions reported within 48 hours of kick-off. Every tip includes a probability percentage — not just a pick, but the data behind it.

Zob Ahan vs Esteghlal Tehran Form Analysis

Heading into this match, both sides carry distinct statistical profiles our model weighs carefully. We assess Zob Ahan's recent home record, scoring rate, and clean sheet frequency against Esteghlal Tehran's away form — particularly goals conceded on the road and their tendency to score or keep clean sheets in away fixtures. Over/Under 2.5 goals, Both Teams to Score (BTTS), and the Asian Handicap line are all evaluated through this lens before a final recommendation is issued.

Persian Gulf Pro League Context: Standings, Form & What's at Stake

League position and match context are decisive inputs. A team fighting relegation defends differently from one chasing European qualification — and our model accounts for that pressure. Check the live Persian Gulf Pro League standings and the Persian Gulf Pro League form table to understand exactly where Zob Ahan and Esteghlal Tehran sit and what this result means for both clubs.
