Persepolis’ Performance
The Red Army have had an inconsistent start under new manager Ismail Kartal and now face a crucial match that could determine their fate in the competition.
They suffered a 4-1 defeat to Al-Hilal in their last outing, leaving them ninth in the table with six points from seven matches. To advance to the knockout stage, they must win on Monday, although a draw could also be enough depending on other results.
