Navidkia Predicts A Difficult Match against Pakhtakor

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Sepahan football team head coach Moharram Navidkia has predicted a difficult encounter in his side’s penultimate 2022 AFC Champions League Group D encounter against Pakhtakor on Friday.

The two sides know they are not in charge of their own fate anymore, having fallen behind the pace in the group. They met back on Matchday One and the Iranian side managed to turn a 1-0 deficit at half time into a 3-1 win.

“The game against Pakhtakor will be a difficult one, this might be our last chance to progress,” said Navidkia.

“Pakhtakor is a good team, it has lost both of its last two games against Al-Duhail but I think it’s very good when it comes to chance creation in front of goal and the team can make those chances count. We need to be very careful, but we need to be confident in our own abilities.

“Our group is the strongest in the West, I believe this is true because all four teams are at the same level more or less which is why it’s so difficult to compete,” he added.
