With five victories in the last six, Persepolis managed to jump in the middle of the standings, thus ensuring a mathematical stay in the category. At the same time, David Silva with the nine (!) Goals he scored in these games, became the top scorer of the league with 20 goals. Special match for the Brazilian striker as at the beginning of the season he was tested in Bayancarta, but was rejected by McMenemi. "It's a match like everything else. My job is to score goals for my team and there is no question of personal proof, "said the Brazilian striker, who admitted that due to his close friendship he has almost daily contact with three players from Bayancarta. The other Brazilian, the defender Otavio Dutra, who was crowned champion with Bayancarta last year, also has a special bond.
Last year's champion, with her belly at the end of last month (0-1-2), virtually lost the train to the title (mathematical odds only), she still remains alive in claiming the third (at least) position which may to give a ticket to the AFC Cup.
It's hard to beat Bayancarta's work against the most formidable team in the category, but because she has a serious motivation and because it is the most double team (7 at 16) I think it is worth the risk of outsider odds.
