Sepahan FC vs Mes Shahr-e Babak Prediction

I'm backing Sepahan to win this with a -1.5 handicap on 25 October 2026 at 16:15. The gap between these teams is stark. Sepahan haven't lost in their last ten matches at home, winning five and drawing three. Mes Shahr-e Babak have won just once away in their last ten, losing four times. I see a comfortable home victory here.

Sepahan's recent form is sharp. In their last five matches they've won three and drawn two, scoring 9 goals and conceding only 1. They beat Zob Ahan 2-1, thrashed Fajr Sepasi 6-1, and won 1-0 against Esteghlal Khuzestan. I'm impressed by their defensive control—two clean sheets show they can grind out results without dominating possession.

Form and H2H

At home, Sepahan are clinical. In their last two available home matches they've won both, scoring 7 goals and conceding just 1. Their season average at home reads 2.25 goals for and 0.75 against. Over a longer stretch they've scored 13 and conceded 6, keeping five clean sheets. I expect them to control this match and score at least once.

Mes Shahr-e Babak arrive in poor shape. They've drawn two and lost three of their last five, scoring 3 and conceding 9. Away from home they're worse—1 point from their last three road trips, 2 goals scored and 6 conceded. Their season away average is 0.75 goals for and 2 goals against. I see a team that can't defend consistently and won't trouble Sepahan's backline enough to stay close.

Best bet

I'm taking Sepahan win at 1.23 on the 1X2 line. That's short, but justified. The -1.5 handicap is where I find value—Sepahan should win by two or more. I'll also watch Over 2.5 at 1.83. Sepahan average 2.25 goals at home and Mes Shahr-e Babak concede 2 per away match on average. The math points to at least three goals in this one.

Odds to watch

Both Teams Score is priced at 2.48 yes and 1.47 no. I lean toward no. Mes Shahr-e Babak have scored in only 2 of their last 5 matches and managed just 1 goal in their last three away games. Sepahan's home record—one goal conceded in two matches—makes a clean sheet likely. The Draw at 4.75 is a trap. Mes Shahr-e Babak haven't won on the road and Sepahan won't settle for a point at home.
