Kheybar Khorramabad hosts Persepolis FC on 14 October 2026 at 16:30 in the Persian Gulf Pro League. Persepolis arrive as the stronger side in current form, winning three of their last five matches and scoring ten goals across that run. Kheybar have won just once in their last five, though they remain competitive at home and have shown they can score regularly. The head-to-head record sits level: each team has won two of the last four meetings, with six goals apiece. Three of those four fixtures ended with over 2.5 goals, suggesting this fixture tends toward open play despite the tactical differences between the sides.
Form and H2H
Persepolis have built a stronger recent sequence. Their last five matches yielded victories over Esteghlal Khuzestan (4–1), Malavan Bandar (3–0), and Zob Ahan (2–0), balanced by a 1–0 loss to Tractor and a 1–1 draw with Esteghlal. Away from home, they have proven reliable: they drew 1–1 with Esteghlal and won an earlier visit to Kheybar 2–1. Defensively, Persepolis conceded only three goals in five matches.
Kheybar's last five brought one win, two draws, and two losses. They beat Foolad 2–0 at home but lost 2–3 to Peykan and drew 2–2 with Aluminium Arak before a 1–2 home defeat. Over ten home matches, Kheybar have scored in eight and conceded two or more goals in eight. Their record shows they create chances but struggle for defensive stability.
In direct meetings, the teams have split honours evenly. Persepolis won 2–1 in December 2024 and 2–1 in February 2026. Kheybar won 1–2 in May 2025 and 2–1 in October 2025. Each victory has come on the road, suggesting neither side has dominated at home in this fixture.
Best Bet
Persepolis to win. The visitors have won three of five recent matches and conceded only three goals in that span, while Kheybar have managed one win in five and show defensive fragility at home. Persepolis' away record is solid, and they have won two of the last four head-to-head meetings. At 1xBet, a Persepolis win trades at 1.46. At 1Win, the price is 1.47. At Mostbet, it sits at 1.50.
Odds to Watch
The draw has drifted to longer odds across the market, reflecting Persepolis' superior form. At 1xBet, the draw is priced 3.7. At 1Win, it is 3.62. At Mostbet, it is 3.61. A home win for Kheybar remains the longest shot: 7.42 at 1xBet, 6.6 at 1Win, and 6.4 at Mostbet. Given Kheybar's home scoring record and Persepolis' tendency to concede fewer goals on the road, the match may not produce the high-scoring affairs seen in three of the last four head-to-head meetings.
