Tractor’s Daunting Record Against Persepolis Highlights League Rivalry
A recent statistical analysis has cast a spotlight on the intense football rivalry between Tractor and Persepolis, revealing a significant competitive trend within Iran’s Premier League.
A One-Sided Dominance
The data shows a starkly one-sided record in recent encounters. In their last twelve official matches, Tractor has managed to secure victory only once against the Tehran-based Persepolis. This single win stands out against a backdrop of eleven matches where Persepolis emerged dominant, underscoring a clear competitive edge for the capital’s team.
League and Super Cup Context
The vast majority of these encounters, nine to be precise, have taken place within the framework of the Iran’s Premier League. One additional match was for the Super Cup. This challenging run for Tractor began after their victory in the nineteenth league season, initiating a long and difficult streak against their rivals.
The Lone Recent Victory
Tractor’s sole triumph in this twelve-match period occurred during the twenty-second league season. Under the guidance of coach Gholamreza Baghabadi, a single goal by Mohammad Abbaszadeh was enough to secure a win against a Persepolis side led by Yahya Golmohammadi at the Azadi Stadium.
A Broader Historical Trend
A deeper look into the history of this fixture reveals an even more challenging long-term statistic for Tractor. In the last twenty meetings between the two clubs, Tractor has only been victorious on two occasions. As the teams prepare for their next encounter, all eyes will be on coach Dragan Skočić and his Tractor squad to see if they can finally reverse this longstanding trend and rewrite the narrative of this compelling domestic rivalry.
