Sepahan vs Urawa Reds
1 unit in Sepahan at 5,1 at Betfair



- Sepahan (founded 1956) are currently 2nd in Iran (9-3-1), and won the Iranian FA Cup last 2 years under Croatian manager Luka Bonacic (ex-Hajduk Split manager). They have 6 players who have been capped by Iranian senior NT and 2 Iraqi internationals. http://fifa.com/clubworldcup/teams/t...7/profile.html

In first game of this throphy, they beated the New Zealand side for 3-1 in a game they rested the players for what can be a revenge against Urawa. The japanese team beat Sepahan in the AFC Champions League final 3 weeks ago and now is time for the payback.

And why do I think there will be a payback? First, because of Urawa's lack of confidence... After losing the first place of the championship on the last round and also losing the game for the Emperor cup, they should not be vary confident... In the last 7 games they only won one...

Other problem for Urawa will be lack of rhytim...They dont play for 10 days, and even the managers says this is good to prepare the team, the better preparation for a game is playing games...

And the last problem will be the injuries on the team, some regulars will have to miss the game. But Urawa are playing in Japan and they have beated Sepahan earlier this season, so people are giving them a big chance to win.

I only see value on the quick iranian players, and a 5,1 is too good to skip...

In Sepahan manager words:

"They lost the J.League championship, and I think this could be a psychological edge for us," said the Croatian. "We know about what happened to [injured Robson] Ponte, and we know some of the other players are not fit.

Good luck,
