Esteghlal analysis

Esteghlal, after 5 rounds, has conceded more goals than it has scored. The goals scored are in fact 3 while 6 are those conceded to opponents.

Recent performances have shown that Esteghlal is having trouble scoring goals, with a low number of goals scored and a high number of matches where they failed to score. This could indicate that they need to improve their attacking play by creating better chances and being more efficient in front of goal.

Esteghlal has shown that they are a patient team, with a high average first goal scored minutes this season. Their ability to control the game and wait for their opportunities is reflected in their low number of goals conceded. This suggests that the team is tactically disciplined and organized, waiting for the right moment to strike. If Esteghlal can continue to maintain this level of patience and discipline, it will serve them well in future matches.

The team has a relatively low scoring streak, the average goals scored does not exceed 0.6 per game, and this may mean that the result of the next away match may not be positive.
